Softer than our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Red C Red still packs plenty of concentration and power. Red fruit tends more towards raspberry and strawberry. Tannins are firm yet fine. They frame a multi-layered core of fruit, spice and herbs that continue to give Red C its broad appeal from year to year.
Sourced primarily from grapes grown in Sonoma County’s Dry Creek Valley and Sonoma Mountain, Red C Red is a blend of Petite Sirah, Malbec, Zinfandel and a touch of Syrah. The exact percentages change yearly, depending on harvest conditions. Like all Covenant wines, Red C Red is fermented with native yeast and barrel aged in French oak.
Aged for 14 Months in 100% French Oak (30% New)

Wine Enthusiast Review (90 Points):
The nose of this deeply colored wine gives off aromas of dusty black cherry and dried cranberry, while the palate exhibits black tea, currant, plum, coffee and cedar in a grippy framework balanced by lively acidity. -T.C.
