Mission Briefing
Sanus vitae
Today’s featured wine is the marvelous Grand Napa Wine 2010 Proprietary Red, a wonderfully balanced wine, with an aroma and flavor profile that splits evenly - and intriguingly - between savory and fruit-forward, giving the wine plenty of appeal.
This wine was carefully created by respected winemaker Tom Rees. Tom has made wines for St. Supéry, Rombauer Vineyards and other prestigious wineries.
Aromas show your nose some elegant loving, with sweet fruit of cherry, raspberry, mulberry and plum, with savory spice, chocolate, toasty oak and subtle tobacco notes.
Bold flavors lead off with savory tobacco, pie spice, leather, tobacco, dark minerals, oak, baker’s chocolate and dried herbs. Fruit follows on, with black cherry, blackberry, plum and cassis.
Hurry and make your selection - before this highly recommended wine sells out! At 57% off we don’t expect it to last the day.
