Red wine | California, USA
Discover the charm of the Ménage à Trois Red Blend, a quintessential California creation from the acclaimed Folie à Deux winery. True to its name—which implies a playful 'threesome' of grape varieties—this wine masterfully marries the bold, jammy intensity of Zinfandel with the soft, plush velvet of Merlot and the structured backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon. Each varietal is fermented separately to preserve its unique character before being blended into a harmonious, crowd-pleasing symphony of flavor.
Upon pouring, you are greeted by an inviting nose of fresh, ripe blackberry and raspberry jam, accented by a whisper of warm baking spices. On the palate, it delivers a generous, full-bodied experience that feels both luxurious and approachable. Its smooth texture makes it a perfect companion for a wide array of culinary delights. Whether you are firing up the grill for BBQ baby back ribs, serving a gourmet burger with aged cheddar, or enjoying a casual evening with herb-roasted chicken, this wine rises to the occasion. It is also an excellent partner for savory favorites like pepperoni pizza or portobello mushrooms, thanks to its versatile fruit-forward profile.
Crafted for those who appreciate a wine that is complex yet unpretentious, this Red Blend is the ideal choice for everyday indulgence. It thrives at slightly below room temperature (around 60–65°F), allowing its vibrant fruit notes to shine. With its iconic branding and consistent quality, Ménage à Trois has earned its place as a staple in wine lovers' homes across America. Pour a glass, let it breathe for a few minutes, and enjoy a wine that balances modern winemaking with the generous spirit of the California sun.
Interesting blend! Blackberry and plum notes are present, a bit jammy. Could be great with BBQ ribs or a juicy burger. Not bad for a casual night!
