Counter Cut
California
Perfect for the best cuts your butcher has to offer
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Counter Cut
Heirloom Red
A deep, silky Merlot, the Counter Cut 2013 Heirloom Red is made for meats. Dark garnet with purple rim edges, this wine is juicy and delicious with hints of espresso that linger on the long finish. Use those notes to your advantage and pair it with your next coffee rubbed pork shoulder, or with your basil and heirloom tomato bruschetta. You meal is farm to table, why shouldn’t your wine be?
The warm days and cold nights in California are perfect for producing concentrated and expressive grapes over the long grow season. These late harvest grapes are prized for producing wines with lush, velvety tannins, full body, and intense fruit flavors. The Counter Cut 2016 Heirloom Red is about celebrating the farm to table ethos of “quality over quantity,” and is blended to be the ideal accompaniment to the best cuts your butcher has to offer.

WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
