Fans of the flavors that charred oak imparts will be satisfied by this big Cabernet. Calla Lily’s “Ultimate Red” is loaded with pepper, burnt ends of beef and full throttle blackberry and black currant fruit. It manages balance between the elements quite nicely, and it is ready to pair with anything that comes out of your backyard smoker. Contains 10.9% Cabernet Franc, 1.7% Merlot and 1.7% Petit Verdot.
