Our 2014 vintage of Gifft Red Blend is comprised of 10 different varietals, blended to showcase the fully-integrated bright fruit character of each component. With aromas of blackberry, ripe plum and loads of black fruit on the palate, it exhibits a smooth, silky mouthfeel on a medium bodied, soft round frame with a touch of vanilla and sweet oak.

Delightful aromas of ripe cherries, black fruit and vanilla make this red wine blend very approachable. Lively flavors of plum, black currant and cassis greet the palate while notes of anise linger on the finish.

Enjoy now through 2020.

Our 2014 Red Blend is 100% estate grown and hails from the Scheid family’s vineyards in Monterey County. The Monterey growing region is known for having the longest growing season in California due to the maritime influence of the Monterey Bay.

The winds that sweep through the vineyards each day bring a natural cooling effect, allowing an extra two to four weeks of what winemakers call “hang time”. Increased hang time leads to more intense flavor development and an enhanced richness of the fruit.

“I tend to prefer white wines and find myself first reaching for Gifft Chardonnay. But I really wanted to work with the Scheid family to craft an easy-drinking red, one that pairs well with a wide variety of food but is also pleasing to drink all on its own. - Kathie Lee Gifford
