Devil's Advocate
Red Wine Blend
It would be challenging to find an objection to Devil’s Advocate’s Red Blend. From the novice to the stickler, this plush and fruity wine is sure to win over anyone who takes a sip. Persuasively plump red and black fruit flavors accompany hints of spice for a compelling combination of varietal flavors and oak influence. Dark-skinned grape varieties thrive in the warmer climates of California. Here, large rocks on the soil’s surface soak up heat from the sun. This means that when cooling delta breezes and chilly nights move in, the grapes can continue to ripen using the stored heat that radiates off the rocks. These conditions are important for thick-skinned grapes that require ample heat to reach peak ripeness levels and velvety tannic textures. Our Red Blend makes a great partner to various dishes ranging from tangy barbecue to cheesy pasta. Scroll through the image carousel above ...

WINE REGION:
![Outline of California](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1819/normal/California.png?1616010998)
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.
