KirchhoffRed Table Blend 2018

As the full-time winemaker for renowned Hudson Vineyards in Napa's Carneros AVA, Clayton Kirchhoff knows how to make expressive, terroir-driven wine. And through his experiences there, he also works with his family to produce Kirchhoff Wines from his family's vineyard in Clarksburg, CA, on the Sacramento River Delta. The fertile soils and warm days of the Clarksburg AVA allow for strong vine growth, with the Delta breeze allowing the vines to cool down and rest at night. This unique, easy-drinking Red is a blend of 45% Merlot, 25% Tempranillo, 13% Grenache, 11% Barbera and 6% Graciano. Flavors of wild strawberry, black licorice and cedar notes fill the glass with a smooth, lingering finish. It was aged for 23 months in 100% neutral French oak. 284 cases were produced.
