2010 Cilla's Blend 750ml 6-Pack
Cilla’s Blend is Cimarone Estate's chic designer wine; a graceful blend of Cabernet and Syrah. Newly released, this is co-owner Cilla's blend, harking to the classical 70% Syrah:30% Bordeaux formula. This is the elegant and seductive blend of estate grapes from the Three Creek vineyard located at Cimarone Estate in Happy Canyon, the newest AVA in Santa Barbara wine country. This eastern part of the county see much higher temperatures than the coastal areas, and has proven to be excellent for bordeaux and rhone varietals. The wine is named for proprietor Priscilla (aka Cilla) Higgins. The Bordeaux grapes in the blend provide structure, balance, herbal notes and a sense of terroir. The Syrah offers brambly fruit, raspberries, and a leathery edge. Very little new oak is used in bringing up this wine yet you can find notes of toast, vanilla, and cigar box. Fresh and delicious now, particularly with roast meat, game or your best bbq burger, this wine will improve over the next five to eight years.
