When creating these blends, the goal was to create a red and white that are luxurious and unique. Knowing that the awards show is taking the attendees attention, we wanted a wine that is complex and memorable enough to give them pause to ask what they are drinking! Winemakers have many tools to achieve a desired style, not the least of which are all of the different grape varietals.
Emily's Tasting Notes
The Artist Red Blend has flavors of black berry, blueberry, black pepper, dark chocolate and baking spices. Pair this wine with heartier meat dishes and hard cheese. The Artist White Blend is fruity but not sweet, although some sweet wine drinkers may enjoy it! Look for flavors of yellow apple, Meyer lemon, pineapple, white flowers, and cream. Pair this wine with rich seafood and creamy pasta.
Artist's Red & White Blends
Cabernet is what gives the Artist Red Blend wine its power and richness. Malbec adds color and deep berry flavors, and Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot bring intense flavors, dark color, and spice. Zinfandel and Merlot round out the wine with rich, juicy fruit.
For the Artist White Blend, the Chardonnay portion of the blend was partially aged in oak barrels, adding a creamy, spicy note to the wine. Viognier, Muller-Thurgau, Riesling, and Moscato are all grapes that have floral aromas and rich, fruity flavors. Combining these notes with ripe Chardonnay results in a wine that is both tropical and opulent.
