The Six Eight Nine Red Wine is a testament to California's ability to produce exceptional blends. A harmonious marriage of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine offers a complex flavor profile and a velvety smooth texture. The blend typically consists of Zinfandel which brings jammy fruit flavors and spice, Cabernet Sauvignon adding structure and cassis notes and Merlot providing softness and roundness. Aromas of ripe dark fruits like blackberry and plum mingle with hints of vanilla and spice, derived from careful oak aging. This creates a rich, inviting nose that sets the stage for the palate.

It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, such as steak or lamb, enhancing the savory flavors with its rich fruit and spice. For a more casual setting, it complements burgers or pizza, adding a touch of elegance to everyday meals. Cheese lovers can enjoy it with aged cheddar or gouda, as the wine's complexity balances the richness of the cheese.
