Mission Briefing
Red is the new Sexy
Today’s Topel Winery 2009 6Y Napa Valley Red Blend is a very 6Y (sexy) wine, indeed! And very highly recommended.
Elegant and bursting with flavor, this wine delivers the sultry elegance of a classic, big-time, Napa Valley Cabernet. This is a very carefully crafted wine, the stikes a wonderful balance of fruit, earth and spice on the palate and on the nose.
This delicious Napa Valley blend is perfect for a night in front of the fire… spent with that special sexy someone.
Tasting Profile
| Look: | Dark purple hues through a slightly darker, slightly opaque core. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Dark blackberry and blueberry combine with stewed plum, cassis and black cherry. A hint of spice adds intrigue and rounding to the vibrant nose. |
| Taste: | Bold red cherry, cassis, dark raspberry, cranberry and blackberry meld with subtle baking spice, bakers chocolate and a hint of slate mineral. |
| Finish: | Very long, rich and robust with dark fruit flavors that tail off into subtle mineral as the palate slowly drys. |
| Pairing: | Very flexible, but we’d recommend that you pair this wine with something rich, like a leg of lamb with rosemary. Serve with garlic red potatoes, apple sauce and reduced cranberries. |
