14.5% ABV
Paying tribute to his legacy, Girasole vineyards created “Charlie’s Blend”: a delectable union of Merlot, Cabernet, Petite Sirah and Zinfandel grown on our family’s three certified organic vineyard sites. Compliments of the Petite Sirah and Merlot, this wine displays a rich, deep ruby color in the glass. It opens with alluring aromas of ripe boysenberry, light caramel and roasted pine nuts. On the palate flavors of raspberry, toasted marshmallow and hints of vanilla tempt the tastebuds. The well integrated tannins on this medium bodied red deliver a silky smooth mouthfeel, and the finish is long and layered.
