Curse of Delicious
TASTING NOTES:
Curse of Knowledge Cabernet Sauvignon - “Curse of Knowledge strives to change perceptions of Sierra Foothills wine. Our high-quality, well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon is created by blending Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It shows an intense ruby color that will captivate your senses, along with a sensational bouquet of dried violet, black cherry, fresh herbs, and cocoa powder. The velvety tannins create a generous and round, balanced mid-palate, followed by a lingering finish of dark berries and black licorice.” (AbV 14.4%, pH 3.78, RS 0.3 g/L)
Sierra Cotes Syrah Grenache Mourvèdre - “Sierra Côtes, meaning the ‘Slopes of Sierra,’ is an excellent representation of the mountain fruit cultivated throughout our wine region. The region experiences hot days and cooler nights, creating a perfect Mediterranean microclimate for delicate Rhone-style grapes like Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. This climate allows the grapes to ripen ideally on the vine while retaining their acidity. The wine exhibits spicy notes of licorice, nutmeg, and crushed granite alongside a juicy yet briskly balanced flavor marked by a mineral lift.” (AbV 14.0%, pH 3.81, RS 0.3 g/L)
Old Vine Zinfandel - “The wine is a tribute to the farmers who have held on to Zinfandel vineyards for decades and, in some cases, for over a century. The wine is made from various old vineyards in the Sierra Foothills region, carefully selected to create an elegant red wine similar to the ones produced in the early days before Zinfandel became a jammy fruit bomb. It is a well-balanced, layered, and seamless wine that offers tons of fresh blackberry and raspberry flavors with a bracing texture of fine-grained tannins and bright acidity.” (AbV 14.6%, pH 3.75, RS 1.2 g/L)
