About This Wine

Open Secret

Red Blend

A quiet standout from California’s inland vineyards, the 2023 Open Secret Red Blend brings together Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel in a richly layered expression of fruit, spice, and oak. Aromas of blackberry, plum, and cherry compote rise from the glass, accented by warm notes of nutmeg, allspice, and toasted coconut. The palate is plush and medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. A subtle touch of sweetness enhances the wine’s fruit-forward nature, making it both approachable and expressive. While California may be best known for its bold single varietals, this unexpected blend offers a different kind of discovery—one worth savoring and sharing.

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.
