Lucas & Lewellen 2017 'Hidden Asset' Red Blend, Santa Barbara County, California Wine, 750 ml
91 Points
From The Winery:
Choice lots of Malbec, Merlot, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Franc were blended into Hidden Asset—a complex, rich, silky and elegant wine. Aromas and flavors include raspberry and pomegranate with a hint of spice. The wine is lush and jammy with velvety chocolate tannins and a lingering finish.
ACCOLADES:
"Winemaker Megan McGrath Gates continues to hone this blend of five different grapes. A pureed red-fruit aroma meets with turned earth, leather and wet oak on the nose, while the palate is cohesive in flavors of cinnamon, dried herbs, beef jerky and roasted red fruit." —M.K., Wine Enthusiast (91 Points)
