Velocity Cellars Red Wine

Velocity Cellars Red Wine Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: “Velocity Cellars is the personal venture of Rogue Valley winemaker Gus Janeway. Velocity, his flagship red wine, is made of carefully selected, separately vinified lots of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, each grown for Gus by three distinct neighboring vineyards in Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley...the 2003 vintage shows dark, saturated color with fine structure and supple tannins wrapped around spicy black currant, raspberry, anise and black tea nuances. On the palate, the wine is polished, smooth and well-paced as it reveals complex flavors of black cherries, cassis, crème brulee and truffle. Deftly balanced, with ripe, fine-grained tannins contributing to the velvety mouthfeel; this wine unfolds gracefully, revealing long, silky layers of bing cherry, mint and clove.”
