The Seventy Five Wine Company 2012 The Sum Red Blend

Price: $20 Rating: 14.5/20 Region: California Varietals: 75 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 15 percent Petite Syrah, 10 percent Syrah Alcohol: 13.9 percent Tasting Notes: Tuck Beckstoffer is the son of famed vineyard owner Andy Beckstoffer, who helped establish Napa Valley as one of the great wine growing regions of the world. Tuck hasn’t done too bad for himself either; his 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon, his first Napa Valley Cabernet, went on to receive worldwide praise, and his portfolio now consists of five wineries, including The Seventy Five Wine Company. His 2012 The Sum is medium-bodied and refreshing, much lighter than its Cabernet Sauvignon-heavy blend would suggest, and displays blackberries and notes of mocha on the nose. Flavors of dark fruit and chocolate dance energetically across the palate, making this wine easily enjoyable now or after bottle aging for 10 to 15 years. Food Pairings: Pork chops, roasted chicken, mushroom pizza with caramelized onions For more information, visit The Seventy Five Wine Company’s official website Other Red Blend wines we have tasted Related Content: Restaurants in Napa, California Napa Valley Vintners Association’s official website
