Mission Briefing
Tyfall
We are just wild about this delicious, lush, vibrant, structured red blend from one of our favorite producers - and longtime friend, Ty Caton. Very highly recommended, this wine is sure to delight any fan of complex, juicy red blends.
Every time we showcase a wine from Ty, we find so much to love. If you are a fan of delicious red wines with a backbone and elegance, you’ll love today’s wine, too.
Ty’s Red is a perfect, balanced blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 18% Syrah, 2% Petite Sirah. A great solo sipper, we recommend pairing this wine with a hearty meal. Grilled meats, spareribs Teriyaki or a roast beef come to mind as a wonderful choice.
Tasting Profile
| Look: | Very dark, deep and opaque, with dark maroon hues that are perfectly even, from core to edge. Tall, skinny, slow-moving tears hold onto the color of the wine as they move very slowly downward. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Balanced and very lush with equal proportion of fruit, earth and spice. Wild blackberry, baked mixed berry pie, brown baking spice, fresh soil, mollasses and European salt licorice. |
| Taste: | Dark and concentrated, with flavors of dark mixed berries, black cherry, subtle baking spice, subtle jasmine black tea, dried fall leaves and black pepper. |
| Finish: | Dark and long lingering black fruit and spice. After the wine leaves the palate, a plush chewiness emerges at the corners of the mouth, giving the wine a complex overall feel. |
