Here is an unusual California blend – equal parts Aglianico and Montepulciano – that is worth your time to discover. Aromas of blackberry and raisin entice, and lead to a palate where racy acidity carries the blackberry through well-chosen oak spice and finds the balance point in the finish. This is built for grilled meats with moderately spicy rubs. Sounds like a summer date to me!
