Materra Cunat Family Vineyards After Midnight 2016
Winemaking notes:
Our inaugural bottling of 2015 After Midnight was such an overwhelming success that we decided to increase production for the 2016 vintage by popular demand.
This Malbec-based red blend is a savory delight featuring a wide range of flavors and scents. Take the time to savor the variety of aromas including mint chocolate chip, black raspberries, and currants. This is followed by a mocha espresso scent that mingles nicely with gingerbread and jasmine as the wine opens up.
Fruit flavors stand out more on the palate as ripe plum and apricot lead into a smooth and lingering finish that is highlighted by a ripe cranberry essence. After Midnight will be a hit with your favorite holiday meals or let the savory aromas and flavors accentuate a juicy grilled steak.
