2018 Behrens Family Winery Blender Boy Red Wine | Napa Valley California 750ml

Sure, we tease Les and call him the Blender Boy, because playing around and blending lots is what he loves to do, and he does it from the gut. Well, his gut was spot on this time around for sure! The 2018 Blender Boy is a wine of great intensity and impressive balance. Woodsy notes of cedar and bark meld with juicy blackberry and spiced plum flavors all wrapped in polished and well-integrated tannins, kept lively with pitch perfect acidity. Broad and lush on the finish, this wine is a fine example of what the exceptional 2018 vintage has to offer. 290 cases produced. | Behrens Family Winery

Cabernet Franc takes center stage in the 2018 Blender Boy. A wild, exotic wine, the 2018 possesses striking aromatic presence to play off its super-ripe dark fruit. Creme de cassis, blackberry jam, cloves, lavender, menthol, and licorice give this sumptuous, succulent wine tons of immediacy and overall appeal. | 94 points, Vinous
