This blend hails from ultra premium, volcanic Napa areas such as the Pritchard Hill area, Howell Mountain, Atlas Peak, and their very own Rockwell Ridge estate vineyard (35 feet below Howell Mountain). It is an exuberant, rich wine with red cherries, oodles of black fruits, and coffee notes. Very reminiscent of the inaugural 2013 Audere, this is sure to please even the biggest Sideways-loving, Merlot-hater...and yes, the rumors are true….this label glows-in-the dark! Turn off the lights and see for yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e93 Jeb Dunnuck\u003cbr\u003eChecking in as a mix of 39% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, 10% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Red Blend Audere gives up a solid, darker, subtly herbal nose with lots of black fruits, chocolate, and spicy nuances. This carries to a ripe, plush, sexy red offering a big, expansive mouthfeel, plenty of mid-palate depth, and ripe tannins. I don't think it's going to make the oldest bones, but it will certainly put a smile on your face over the coming 7-8 years or more.\u003cbr\u003e92 Wine Enthusiast\u003cbr\u003eRich black cherries and milk-chocolate notes give a ripe, saturated expression to this full-bodied wine, while well-integrated tannins add needed structure. Made from mostly Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and sourced from three mountain locations, the wine is velvety, flavorful and almost sweet on the finish.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Hertelendy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975736791264,"sku":"104538","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/hertelendy-audere_1.jpg?v=1663887175","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/hertelendy-audere-2016-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
