Description

Six Eight Nine Cellars was founded in 2007 by Kary and John Sullenger, together with the partners of Caymus Vineyards, Chuck Wagner and his two sons, Charlie and Joe. In Chinese numerology, the number six signifies happiness, eight represents wealth, and nine symbolizes longevity. The name 689 embodies the philosophy of this brand, which is to create wines that bring happiness, wealth and long life to those who drink them. 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. On the palate, the wine unfolds with layers of flavor. The initial burst of fruit is followed by subtle nuances of cedar, chocolate, and a touch of earthiness. The tannins are well-integrated, giving the wine a smooth, lingering finish. Its versatility makes it an excellent companion to various dishes. 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. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a relaxing evening, the Six Eight Nine Red Wine is a perfect choice. Its approachable style and exceptional quality make it a favorite among wine enthusiasts. Its harmonious blend of grapes and flavors creates a memorable drinking experience that embodies the spirit of California winemaking. In short, this wine is a bottle filled with happiness, wealth, and a promise of a long and delightful life.
