Woodbridge Rich Red Blend (1.5L, 13.5%)

A full-bodied California red wine from Lodi, bottled in a 1.5-litre magnum at 13.5% ABV. The blend draws on Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Syrah, with touches of other complementary reds. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing in French and American oak barrels. The nose leads with ripe plum, blackberry jam and dried cherry, with vanilla and toasty oak beneath. The palate is lush and fruit-forward, with jammy blackberry and cherry preserves, then caramel, baking spice and gentle oak tannins. The finish is medium in length, silky and toasty, with dried plum and a whisper of spice.
