Deep purple color. Aromas and flavors of ripe plum, tobacco, black olives, tonka bean, and black tea with a round, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, complex, medium-long finish revealing suggestions of earl grey tea and licorice with moderate oak flavor. A yummy, highly appealing Red Blend for any occasion.

International Red Blend

International blend wines is a category that includes wines made from juice from different countries. Examples include a few wines from Canada that contain Chilean wine, while there are also examples of American wines that contain Zinfandel from California with Amarone, a robust red from Italy's Veneto region- along with, believe it or not, blackberry juice. These wines are often novelties and are not too expensive, although there are exceptions.
