Gifft 2014 Red Blend

Gifft 2014 Red Blend

Mission Codename The Gifft that keeps on giving

If you enjoyed our previous offering of Metz Road Chardonnay, you’ll love today’s Gifft 2012 Monterey County Red Blend. Both wines were made by Scheid Vineyards.

Today’s wine was made in collaboration with Kathie Lee Gifford. This Gifft 2014 Monterey County Red Blend is a delicious, wallet-friendly wine that delivers a surprisingly serious drinking experience.

Gifft wine is no mere celebrity endorsement, though. (We all know how those wines usually turn out!) This is, instead, a partnership between Kathie Lee Gifford and the famous Scheid Vineyards.

This wine is very balanced and a pleasure to inhale. Aromas of Bing cherry, blackberry, red plum and cranberry meld with sweet oak, subtle chocolate and sweet spice.

Sweet and juicy on the palate, with flavors of Cherry juice, raspberry, cranberry cocktail, sweet oak, cocoa, flinty mineral, mixed spice and subtle peppercorn.

With 10 estate vineyards in their care and four decades of experience in Monterey County winegrowing, Scheid Family Wines was a natural partner for Kathie Lee to bring her wine brand to market.

Scheid’s winemaker, Dave Nagengast, is in full command of the winemaking process. Dave consults with many wineries, including Scheid, as well as heading up his own Nagengast Estate Vineyard and Cinquain Cellars.

We’ve been Giffted with access to quite a few cases of this surprisingly delicious wine, but still, don’t expect it to last the day.

If you’re looking for a light-hearted, easy-sipping wine that won’t break the bank, this wine is an easy choice. Enjoy!
