Penrose Hill 2016 Red Blend California

2016 California Red Blend

The Penrose Hill 2016 Red Blend from California is a captivating wine with a deep red hue that hints at its rich and bold character. The wine boasts a full body that envelops the palate with a luxurious texture, while the moderate acidity adds a welcome brightness and liveliness. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering a delightful burst of ripe flavors that dance on the taste buds. Tannins are notable in this wine, providing a structured backbone and a lingering finish that speaks to its impressive aging potential.

Tasting notes:


The Penrose Hill Red Blend is a beautiful mix of dark fruits. We love it for the pops of black cherry and raspberry that play off of the firm tannins. With a wine this structured we find that pairing with flavorful meats to be the best option.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
