The Vice Napa Valley WinesThe Tri BlendThe lovely bouquet of aromas bursts focused notes of Morello cherry, blueberry and violets, while an edge of white pepper adds interest. The palate continues in juicy, peppery fashion with added notes of plum, pomegranate molasses and cacao. The finish is long with smooth tannins that also reveal leather and baking spice.
“The Tri” is a blend of 18% Cabernet Franc, 52% St Laurent and 30% Malbec.
The inspiration behind the precise blending was the time % of each discipline in Triathlon at the 2016 Rio Olympics of my dear friend, World Champion and Team USA athlete Joe Maloy.
Each varietal was picked at its peak ripeness, fermented and aged separately.
