Intrinsic Red Blend

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Intrinsic Red Blend wraps you in a rush of ripe black cherry and plum, laced with hints of cocoa and subtle spice that linger long after the glass is set down. Crafted in the United States, this expressive red blend balances plush fruit with a backbone of fine tannins, making it an irresistible companion for grilled steak or a wedge of aged cheddar. With an alcohol by volume of 14.50%, Intrinsic Red Blend delivers both depth and vibrancy, showcasing the artful harmony possible when Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec grapes are blended with care.
