Red Blend
Red blends combine multiple grape varieties to create wines with intricate and balanced flavors. In Bordeaux, blends often include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, resulting in wines with layers of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes. California’s red blends might feature Zinfandel, Syrah, and Petite Sirah, showcasing bold fruit and peppery undertones. The art of blending enhances the depth and harmony of these wines.
