WINE DESCRIPTION
The Arsonist Red Blend is a premium wine produced by Matchbook Wine Company, a family-owned winery located in the Dunnigan Hills appellation of California. This wine is a blend of several grape varieties, including Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the winery's estate vineyards. The vineyards are characterized by their volcanic soils, which impart unique flavors and aromas to the grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice, and a smooth, velvety texture. The Arsonist Red Blend is a perfect choice for those who appreciate complex, flavorful full-bodied wines.
