Zaca Mesa Z Cuvée Red Blend

Region:
Santa Ynez Valley, CA

We have been producing this classic Rhône-style blend since 1992. Inspired by the food-friendly and exquisitely layered blends of the Southern Rhône Valley, the Z Cuvée finds a delicate balance between the savory, elegance and fruit-driven nature of the Rhône Valley blends.  The 2016 Z Cuvée is a beautiful reflection of the harmony created when blending our favorite red Rhône varietals; Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah. Each varietal is perfectly interwoven, revealing dynamic bouquet of red and black fruits, potpourri, and dried herbs. The soft and seductive tannins are energized by flavors of tart spiced plum and cocoa dusted black cherries.
