Brooding purple with dark rimmed color. The nose blooms first with red cherry, ripe plum to dark raspberry with hints of anise seed and ending dusty suede. The palate is explosive, lush ripe fruits give way to supple tannin, layers of dark and bright berries with balanced acidity and firm yet restrained structure. The strong finish lingers of black tea and plum. A tried-and-true crowd pleaser, break it out with pepperoni pizza, carne asada tacos and teriyaki chicken.  Our 2018 Rabble Red Blend sports vibrant aromatics lead by dark cherry and blackberries, characteristic of the vintage. Chocolate and coffee notes add another layer of complexity. The rich and decadent flavor profile is driven with blueberry pie, cocoa powder, and boysenberry.
