Product Highlights
The 2017 Bootleg red is a blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot. The wine is dark crimson in color, dark fruit and raspberry, anise with oak notes on the nose. On the palate the wine has structured tannins with balanced acidity and a savory long finish. Perfect with steak and barbecued dishes.

Expert Reviews
The 2017 Bootleg Red Blend checks in as 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot that's mostly from Howell Mountain, yet includes fruit from Spring Mountain, Knights Valley, and Diamond Mountain. Plenty of crème de cassis, tobacco leaf, cedary herbs, and a touch of chocolate all emerge from the glass of this plump, rounded, undeniably delicious 2017 that does everything right. Enjoy it over the coming 4-6 years.
