Aviary Birds of Prey Red Blend (75cl, 14.5%)

Aviary Birds of Prey Red Blend is a California Bordeaux-style red wine blending Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Aviary Vineyards uses live birds of prey for natural pest control, an approach that inspired the Birds of Prey label. The nose opens with brambleberries and cassis, then cigar box, baking spice, roasted almonds and dark chocolate. The palate is rich with blackberry and black cherry, then vanilla, strawberry jam, red berries, smoky cedar and dark chocolate. The finish has toasted cedar, tea leaf and faint almond bitterness, with soft tannins.
