Apothic Red Winemaker's Blend 2023 750ml
Apothic Red Winemaker’s Blend — California 2023
Apothic Red is one of California's most recognizable and best-selling red blends — a wine built for immediate pleasure, with a rich, layered style that has earned it a devoted following since its debut. The 2023 Winemaker's Blend is crafted from a multi-varietal California blend — Zinfandel, Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon — aged on multiple types of oak to build complexity and draw out notes of vanilla, mocha, and toffee. The result is a full-bodied, velvety red that overdelivers at its price point and works equally well on a weeknight or at a dinner party.
The nose is intense and inviting: rhubarb, black cherry, dark plum, mocha, and chocolate, with warm accents of brown spice and vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and plush with a velvety mouthfeel, rich dark fruit, and a smooth, lingering finish. It is approachable, crowd-pleasing, and deeply satisfying — the kind of red blend that disappears fast.
“Apothic Red reveals intense fruit aromas and flavors of rhubarb and black cherry, complemented by hints of mocha, chocolate, brown spice and vanilla. The plush, velvety mouthfeel and smooth finish round out this intriguing, full-bodied red blend.” — Winemaker’s Notes
