Settlers of Caton

TASTING NOTES:
“This sexy and approachable wine leads with aromas of boysenberry and blackberry. It greets the palate with lush notes of dark fruit and a smooth hint of chocolate. The finish lingers on your tongue and the taste is heightened with just a touch of spice.” (AbV 14.3%, 68% Zinfandel 27% Petite Sirah 5% Cabernet Sauvignon)

BARRELS:

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Did you know they made The Settlers of Catan into just Catan? Unbelievable.

Do you know what Catan is? Well, it all started in 1995 when it was designed and published in Germany. Each player is a settler and tries to establish a foothold on the titular island of Catan. They gather resources from the land, building settlements and trading with each other until someone gets a certain amount of points for their accomplishments.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
With or without food, but nothing specific. So basically you’ve got free reign.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Sheep, wheat, wood, brick and ore.
