RICHARD THE LION-HEART

RICHARD THE LION-HEART Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: Our Richard the Lion-Heart is carefully blended, using the very best barrels of our certified organic estate grown grapes including five varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. This is one of less than a dozen California wines that actually has all five of the classic Bordeaux red varietals in the blend. Our Richard is always deceptively soft, yet complex and features a long, smooth finish. Wine critics typically compare it favorably to wines at twice the price and even more, so it represents great Mendocino "bang for the buck." This wine is amazing. How could it not be? The five separate component wines in the blend won 23 medals, including 2 Double-Golds and 2 Gold Medals. Elegance and balance are the heart of this blend. Aromas of chocolate cherries with hint of mint, baking spice and vanilla. Rich black cherry fruit mid palate finishes with smooth, firm tannins. An exception wine from an exceptional vintage.
