Product Details

Our 2020 Sláinte Red Blend is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Souzao, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec from our Lucky 8 Vineyard on Tesla Road in Livermore.  Sláinte, which means “cheers to good health” in Gaelic, tends to be one of our favorite easy-drinking wines, with its balanced acidity and elegant body.  It opens up black cherry, that delicious rich combination of sweet and tart that is reminiscent of a pie.  As the wine opens a bit additional notes of red plum, jammy fig, violet and white pepper surface. This wine is very smooth with lots of fruit, vanilla, and a touch of tea leaves and leather. The tannins are bigger than years past, but this is still an approachable wine. Pair this wine with New York strip steak with caramelized onions, pork tenderloin with blackberry chipotle sauce, or a Beef tri-tip roast with rosemary and thyme.
