The 2022 Red Fusion is a striking Bordeaux-style blend that showcases the intensity of Red Mountain's unique terroir. Dominated by 60% Cabernet Franc, this wine opens with a vibrant bouquet of black cherry, tobacco leaf, and a hint of dried herbs. The mid-palate reveals layers of rich dark fruit from the 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering blackcurrant and cassis, balanced by a subtle touch of earthiness. The 15% Merlot adds a soft, velvety texture, bringing notes of plum and a whisper of cocoa. The tannins are firm yet refined, leading to a long, smooth finish with nuances of spice and minerality, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and complexity.
This blend is bold yet balanced, making it perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.
