The Paring Red Blend 2014 is an exuberant red wine that combines the intense, spicy character of the oak, with the rich, ripe fruit. If you love bold red wines, with a multidimensional character and full body, then this wine is a must try.
The Paring winery is located in the Santa Ynez Valley and is of course related to the Jonata winery. In fact, those vines that are still young or whose fruit does not match the style of Jonata or The Hilt wines are included in The Paring. The purpose of The Paring is to offer quality and expressive wines, with an emphasis on terroir and the classic Californian style.
The Paring Red Blend 2014 consists of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. The wine ages in French oak barrels (55% new) for 22 months. It is then bottled unfiltered and intended for long aging.
