An blend of 40% Tempranillo, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, The Calixa red offers qualities of all three of the varieties and outstanding balance and restraint. The nose shows dusty dark cherry and boysenberry fruit. The medium-bodied palate offers a reprise of the the aromatic fruit themes along with mineral and early notes framed by suave tannins. A cool red with lots of energy and both unique and familiar aspects. Very food-friendly and an outstanding deal. 12.8% alcohol
