Ménage à Trois California Red 2018
In Stock
Sure, we could have settled for your good old-fashioned double entendre. You know, a not-so-subtle quip accompanied by a sly wink of the eye and a secret titter. But why stop at double when there was a triple entendre just waiting to be had? Ménage à Trois examines what happens when you put three attractive, single, young grapes in one exquisite bottle.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our 2018 Ménage à Trois exposes the fresh, ripe, jam like fruit
that is the calling card of California wine. Forward, silky and soft,
this delicious dalliance makes the perfect accompaniment for
grilled meats and chicken.
Winemaker Notes
Ménage à Trois Red brings together three strange bedfellows:
Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. To add complexity
and retain character, each variety was fermented separately, then
blended together prior to bottling. On top we’ve got Zinfandel,
a saucy tease that brings blackberry and raspberry jam to the
relationship. Merlot, with its generous mouth feel and red fruits,
fits perfectly in the middle. The rich flavors and firm tannins of
Cabernet Sauvignon make it the ideal candidate for the bottom
layer of the trio.
Other Notes
Varietal Composition: 54% Zinfandel, 33% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon

This is the 1st wine I have ever really liked. It was given as an anniversary gift.
