WINE DESCRIPTION

A bold and expressive red blend, The Culprit North Coast Red captures the spirit of California's North Coast vineyards. Deep ruby in the glass, it offers aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and cherry, interwoven with notes of vanilla, baking spices, and a touch of smoked cedar. The palate is lush and fruit-forward, with layers of dark fruit, hints of mocha, and a gentle peppery kick. Smooth tannins and a juicy acidity lead to a lingering, velvety finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This approachable yet complex blend is a testament to the artistry of North Coast winemaking.The rich, fruit-driven profile is complemented by subtle oak influence, adding depth and structure. A versatile food wine, it pairs wonderfully with barbecue ribs, grilled vegetables, or hearty pasta dishes. Enjoy now for its vibrant character, or allow it to develop further complexity over the next 3–5 years.

ORIGINS

Winery: The Culprit

Region: North Coast California

The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines. The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.
