Rio Embudo Red Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: 95% Millot and DeChaunac from the Embudo Valley and 5% Ruby Cabernet, this vintage abounds with cherries in the mid palate, accented by fine tannins, finishing with a silky texture. A most popular red. Try with grilled lamb chops glazed with a Moroccan barbeque sauce.

Varietal Definition
Ruby Cabernet:
Red-wine grape cross originating from Carignane and Cabernet Sauvignon parentage. Bred for use in the hot San Joaquin Valley region of California, it shows better promise in cooler coastal regions. Also found on small acreages in South Africa, Chile, Argentina and Australia. Currently used in jug-wines as "backbone".
