14 Hands Hot to Trot Red Blend (75cl, 13.5%)

Hot to Trot is a Washington red blend from 14 Hands, bottled at 13.5% vol in a 75cl bottle. It is mostly Merlot and Syrah, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Mourvèdre and Grenache. The wine spent seven days on the skins and was aged for over ten months in stainless steel tanks and neutral French and American oak, to keep the fruit fresh and soften the wine. It tastes of cherry pie, ripe berries and plums, with refined tannins and subtle baking spice. The finish is persistent.
