About This Wine

Color Wash

Bold Red Wine

This bold Red took home 90 points and a Gold medal at the 2018 Monterey International Wine Competition and a Silver medal and 89 points at the 2018 New World International Wine Competition! The first thing you’ll notice about the winemakers at Color Wash is that they don’t like to hide anything about their wines. Even from the label, minimal and only displaying flavor notes on the back, they present the wines clearly for all the world to see. The only thing that they care about is the great taste of a well-made wine. The Color Wash Red takes the best grapes from the state of California to make a wine that is perfect for pairing with meats. The firm, robust tannins can support rich flavors, and our experts especially love the dark fruit flavors alongside a pan sauce. This is a wine that can’t be missed.

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.

  • A figure representing the Blackberry tasting note. Blackberry
  • A figure representing the Cherry tasting note. Cherry

This Red blend has a deep purple color and nose of red fruit, black currant, blackberry, and cherry. Medium body and refreshing acidity join earthy tones and aromas making this a very mature tasting wine. The firm, robust tannins and the dark fruit complements red meats and sauces.
