Winemaker Comments:
The 2004 Regatta Red opens with wonderful maraschino cherry, dark raspberry and plum aromas. On the palate, ripe fruit forward flavors and tannin complement one another. One might say that this wine has "everything but the kitchen sink" due to the seven different varietals that comprise the final blend. However, in this blend, no one varietal is greater than the sum of its parts and so each grape adds its own unique contribution. The finish is rich, long and textured with flavors and scents that accent each other. It抯 a great red to accompany outdoor grilling, spaghetti or a hard day of sailing.
