Mission Codename Ty me to the moon
Our own Agent Shiraz chose today’s 2015 Ty’s Red as his Top Selection of 2017 in this year’s Wine Spies Wine Intrigue Awards Winner. Of all of the hundreds of wines that we featured in 2017, this wine was his hands down favorite. Find out what makes this wine so superb, by reserving some for yourself…
Ty Caton’s wines have become some of our most popular. We’ve been featuring Ty’s wines for a decade now and it seems that his wines just keep getting better and better.
Today’s Ty Caton Vineyards 2015 Ty’s Red is Ty’s budget-minded flagship red blend. This wine is a masterful blend of Syrah (55%), Cabernet Sauvignon (36%), Petite Verdot (6%) and Merlot (3%).
This wine is super dense on the nose, with concentrated aromas of blackberry jam, black cherry, cassis, sweet tobacco, cedar, chocolate, dried fall leaves, toasty oak, subtle baking spice and super subtle cracked pepper.
This wine telegraphs rich, juicy flavors to the far corners of the palate, with blackberry preserve, black cherry reduction, cocoa nibs, cassis, blackberry tobacco, plum, toasty oak and subtle sweet spice.
Ty’s wines have been featured on Wine Spies nearly 30 times in these last 8+ years. We keep going back for more because we love his wines. This special treat, which hails from the Moon Mountain AVA is offered to you with our heartiest recommendation. The QPR (Quality to Price Ratio) for this wine is through the roof!
