Oregon Carmine--Big Red

Oregon Carmine--Big Red Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: A genetic cross between Merlot and Cabernet/Carignane, this variety has not been picked up by any other Oregon winery. We have it due to a friendship with a friend who owned the only vineyard that had it planted. He brought it in from California--UC Davis. It has gorgeous, rich color, and fruit of a merlot, the drying tannins of a cab. Fascinating! This verson has some merlot in it which has improved the fruit component and softened the tannins that want to explode. Very popular in our tasting room! A great spaghetti wine! Only 100 cases made.
