Lots of iron, spicy red and blue fruits, leather, and chocolaty notes emerge from the 2019 Red Blend Audere, another terrific wine in the lineup. Full-bodied, mouth-filling, and textured, it has notable tannins and a great finish. It's a great value and well worth seeking out.

Aromas of red fruit, fresh herbs and suede. Full-bodied with powdery, taught tannins. Juicy and well structured, the fruit coats the tannins well. Very good intensity and depth. Needs some time to soften.
