ABOUT THIS WINE:

Devil's Advocate

Devil's Advocate

Red Wine Blend

It would be challenging to find an objection to Devil’s Advocate’s Red Blend. From the novice to the stickler, this plush and fruity wine is sure to win over anyone who takes a sip. Persuasively plump red and black fruit flavors accompany hints of spice for a compelling combination of varietal flavors and oak influence. Dark-skinned grape varieties thrive in the warmer climates of California. Here, large rocks on the soil’s surface soak up heat from the sun. This means that when cooling delta breezes and chilly nights move in, the grapes can continue to ripen using the stored heat that radiates off the rocks. These conditions are important for thick-skinned grapes that require ample heat to reach peak ripeness levels and velvety tannic textures. Our Red Blend makes a great partner to various dishes ranging from tangy barbecue to cheesy pasta. Scroll through the image carousel above ...

WINE REGION:

Outline of California

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.

TASTING NOTES:

Blackcurrant

Plum

White Pepper

Sweet aromatics of vanilla and a slight chocolate note meld with graphite and cedar. Fruit forward flavors of candied maraschino cherry and black cherry, red plum, and blackberry complement big tannins that grip the palate. Each sip has a delightful texture that will make you go back for glass after glass.
