Hot to Trot Red Blend



Nose is kind of bland like. Cherries predominant in mouthfeel. Mocha on back end. Its ok really, but not super great. On the sweeter side.

Truth and Valor Zinfandel

Red fruits in the nose, luscious cherry that costs the tongue with plum backend.  Not heavy but very strong backend bite with a bit of dry tannin feel.  By in large, its an oaky berry nose on average, plum and cherry do intercede throughout and strong dry finish.

Seven Rings Cabernet Oak Knoll


Image result for seven rings cab

Subtle herb and black currant on the nose. Plum on the front of the tongue and black currant, sweet herb, that intercedes in the middle with a dark fruit finish. Very smooth with lingering but polished tanins. Extremely long lasting and on the smoother side. Powerful fruit but the tanin makes it a little dry.

Truth and Valor Cabernet

Medium bodied. Dark fruit on the nose with a little bit of leather. Cherry on front with cassis/warm dark fruit in the middle. Subtle chocolate on the backend. Very Very VERY VERY VERY SMOOTH and lingers awhile. Long cherry flavor on the second and third tasting. Alternates between cherry and dark fruit in subsequent tastings with chocolate sneaking in there occasionally. The smooth polished tannins leave a bit of astringency in the mouthfeel while still being abundantly smooth.
