Cruse Wine Co Monkey Jacket 2017

Monkey Jacket comes from 9 vineyards across California, all fermented separately. 25% of the wine is Alicante Bouschet, Grenache, Cinsault, Mondeuse, and Zinfandel from one source; another 25% is Valdiguié; and then there’s Syrah, Tannat, St. Laurent, and Carignan. The result is a fruity concoction of pomegranite, strawberry, red cherry, plum, blackcurrant, and blackberry that’s dry, tannic, chalky, concentrated, and spicy on the palate.
