It’s a wine-Deerfield weekend! 🍷 My version of wonderful!
Wyze Wine’s first post had to be on a wine from my favorite winery, Deerfield Ranch Winery located in Kenwood, California. I love their mouth-watering red wines!
The gem I opened the other day was their 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon. I am sad to say I am down to our last few bottles of this…
This wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Syrah. It has been aged for 39 months in 60% French and 40% American barrels, 25% new. Sounds delicious right? It sure is!
I love how Deerfield describes it as a “multi-dimensional wine that changes as you drink it. It evolves and holds your interest.” I completely agree.
My impressions:
Pours: Thick, deep garnet red
Smell: A bouquet of ripe red and dark fruit, cherries, blackberries, plum all laced with beautiful cedar and a touch of allspice.
Taste: Mouth-watering, full-bodied, oaky, syrupy, fruit forward but not sweet, tannins compliment wine and round it out.
