Chateau Diana Protest Red Blend Aged in Rye Whiskey Barrels 2017

Protest Sonoma County Red Blend Aged in Rye Whiskey Barrels 2017

TASTING NOTES:
The Rye Whiskey aromas are uniquely subtle and meld well with the silky, dense fruit. There are hints of cigar box and fresh leaf tobacco. The intense, dusty black fruit flavors have a warm intermingling with the Rye Whiskey flavors. There are deliciously chewy, silky black fruits, with intense blackberry and equally intense raspberry jam highlights. A perfect combination of aromas and flavors intertwine into a unique expression of Red Wine blending. It invokes a pleasant pipe smoke-filled room with old classic novels lying about.

Creamy and salty cheese board with tart fruit and nuts, spinach salad with tart fruits, smoked salmon, duck, and dark chocolate.
