Sutter Home Sweet Red (75cl, 12.5%)

A California red wine blend of Merlot, Zinfandel and Syrah, bottled at 12.5% ABV. Produced by Sutter Home Winery in St. Helena, Napa Valley, it uses cold fermentation and aging entirely in stainless-steel tanks rather than oak barrels, preserving fresh fruit character and natural residual grape sweetness. It is served lightly chilled, around 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and drinks well on its own or over ice. It can be used in Red Sangria, Kalimotxo or mulled wine. Delicate peach and fresh cherry lead the nose, followed by floral notes and ripe berry. The palate is juicy with cherry and berry fruit, ripe peach, natural residual sweetness and refreshing acidity, with soft tannins. The finish is medium in length with lingering peach and berry sweetness.
