Oak Farm Tievoli Red Blend (75cl, 14.5%)

A Lodi, California red wine blending 79% Zinfandel, 10% Barbera, 7% Petite Sirah and 4% Sangiovese. Each variety is fermented separately before the sets are combined post-fermentation and aged for approximately 18 months in 25% new French and American oak barrels. The nose opens with ripe red plum and cassis, then blackberry, black cherry, floral notes, salted dark chocolate and orange zest. The palate leads with luscious dark fruit, then vanilla, cinnamon and toasted wood, with vibrant acidity and bright red-fruit tension. The finish is velvety and persistent, with nutmeg, bittersweet cocoa, anise and firm but well-integrated tannins.
