NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
A full-bodied and robust offering, Alpha Omega ERA Red Blend is a harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.Rich aromas of dark fruit and baking spices are followed by flavors of blackberry, plum, and coffee on the palate. The generous tannins are balanced by a hint of acidity that carries through the long finish. Enjoy this wine now or cellared for a few years to experience its full potential.
