WINE DESCRIPTION

'689 Cellars' draws inspiration from Chinese culture, where the numbers 6, 8, and 9 symbolize luck, wealth, and a long life. Owner Curtis McBride weaves these auspicious digits into attractive labels, infusing his wines with positive energy. Nestled in California's famed Napa Valley, the winery benefits from the region's fertile volcanic and sedimentary soils, coupled with a mild climate moderated by Pacific fog. '689 Cellars' produces exceptional wines, like the '689 White' with its fruity blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, and Viognier, or the impressive '689 Red' with Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Petit Verdot.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

689 - Six Eight Nine Red is a unique and intriguing wine as a blend of different grape varieties.On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and oak. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a well-integrated acidity. Flavors of blackberries, plums, and dark chocolate unfold, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This wine is a great choice for those who appreciate bold and expressive red wines. Enjoy it with hearty dishes like grilled meats or aged cheeses.
