California
Try this epic, gold medal-winning California Red from award-winning winemaker Joe Otos.
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Daring Escape
Red Blend
The Daring Escape 2013 California Red is just that—daring.

Taking the best grapes from all over California veteran winemaker Joe Otos has made another classic.

WINE REGION:
California
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.
