Sebastiani Gravel Bed Red Blend 2016 (750 ml)

Tasting Notes For Sebastiani Gravel Bed Red Blend 2016Sebastiani’s 2016 Gravel Bed Red is a harmonious expression of the gravelly vineyard sites from a warmer vintage. Deep ruby with purple hues, this wine is dominated by peppery spice, currant, cherry, and coconut on the nose. The entry is smooth and loaded with blackberry, underbrush, raspberry, and black tea flavors. The nice structure is framed by elegant tannins leading to the lingering finish.Critic RatingsWine & Spirits Review – Published 12/18 - Rated 91:This is a brisk cabernet sauvignon (79 percent) blended with merlot and malbec. Its cool tannins carry a dark, resinous herb character, providing a zesty counterpoint to the lush fruit sweetness. The texture is full and mellow, enlivened by fresh mineral acidity that provides a sandstone-like abrasion to the finish. Pour it with pork rillettes or other charcuterie.WinerySebastianiCountryUnited StatesRegionCaliforniaYear2016Grape VarietalRed BlendSize750 MLABV14.5%Wine StyleRed Wine
