Blend
About This Wine
Each year, we ferment some of our Pinot Noir on the skins, with the purpose of making a red wine that will lend its color to our roses. We ferment a little extra to blend our sparkling red wines, including this rich and intense Cuvee M Red. We select some of our more powerful Pinot Noir lots for this blend and add a bit more dosage to balance the richness, leaving just a hint of sweetness on the finish.

Profile
The gorgeous, deep red color of this wine leads into dense aromas of black cherry, spiced plum, and cranberry, with hints of dark chocolate and orange peel. On the palate, rich notes of spiced plum and blackberry are complemented by a soft, creamy mousse. This is a powerful wine, with considerable weight and depth. A touch of sweetness balances the structure and makes it a versatile option for pairing.
Occasions & Pairings
Cuvee M Red is fantastic for enjoying with anything from BBQ to a festive holiday dinner.
