2018 Saddleback 'Rancher's Red' Blend   

On the nose, pleasing aromas of black cherry, vanilla bean, thyme, ground nutmeg and cacao. On the palate, it approaches with dense, but soft tannins and a full mouthfeel. The flavor envelop the pallet gracefully with plum, Bosch pear and black tea. This wine is a straightforward stunner. A flavorful finish is generous with lingering notes of brambleberries.
