The Excursion Red Blend is fermented in stainless steel before aging on a combination of French and American oak, a dual-oak regimen that contributes both subtle spice and rounded vanilla character. What makes this blend unusual is its mashup of six varietals: 30% Teroldego, 26% Syrah, 17% Merlot, 12% Touriga Nacional, 8% Petite Sirah, and 7% Petit Verdot. Teroldego, an Italian-origin grape rarely seen as the lead in California blends, gives the wine a distinct dark-fruit intensity and a structural backbone that separates it from more conventional Cabernet-driven reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with concentrated blackberry jam and ripe raspberry, moving quickly into mocha and warm toasted oak.
