Triple Layer Red

2011 Monterey Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre

The Scheid Vineyards Triple Layer Red is an exquisite blend that showcases the harmonious interaction between Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. This red wine entices with its inviting deep ruby hue, offering a glimpse into the robust flavors it holds. On the palate, it reveals a smooth medium-bodied character, balanced beautifully with lively acidity that enhances its overall freshness. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring a delightful medley of dark berry notes alongside hints of spice, which contribute layers of complexity to every sip. The tannins are well-integrated and provide a firm structure, allowing for a pleasing mouthfeel that lingers gracefully. Crafted in Monterey, this 2011 vintage is a testament to the region's ability to produce captivating wines that are not only approachable but also full of character.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
