Hourglass Hourglass HGIII Red Blend

Bounding aromas of fresh vibrant fruit—black and Bing cherry, blackberries, and pomegranate—mingle with elevated notes of roasted hazelnut and toasted vanilla bean to create an explosive and compelling aromatic. Layers of fruit, crossing a spectrum of red and black berries, incorporate the finest elements of blending Merlot, Cabernet, and Petit Sirah (the "III" of HG III): Merlot for a supple and sleek mid-palate texture;  Cabernet for core structure and extended finish; and the "secret sauce" of Petit Sirah for depth and layering. An unmistakable hint of dark chocolate yields a richness that beautifully complements a bright, pure fruit character. The firm tannins of Cabernet provide just enough structure, while the mouthfeel driven by Merlot is decidedly lush and seductive. The blend finishes strong with expansive and lingering notes. Pair with buffalo burgers and hot dogs grilled over a wood charcoal fire, potato salad, perfect deviled eggs, and a green salad with fresh lettuce and herbs. Blend - 48% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah
