"Ranchero" Cabernet and Nebbiolo

"Ranchero" (Cabernet and Nebbiolo) Wine Details
Price:

Description: Intense red blend, dry & very deep flavor. American oaked for 12 months. Cabernet Sauvignon is the backbone of wines from the left bank of Bordeaux, France. Nebbiolo is the basis for gorgeous wines from Northern Italy's Piedmont area, most notably from the appellation Barolo (inside of the Piedmont area). You may have heard of the "Super Tuscans," which are wines made of Tuscany's traditional grape Sangiovese, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon for increased structure and elegance. There are now a few "Super Piedmonts," made of Nebbiolo and Cabernet, and Ranchero could be considered a "New World Super Piedmont." Grapes grown in Guadalupe Valley, Baja California, wine made in Escondido.
