2016 Simoneau Vineyards FenceLine
Producer: Simoneau Vinyards Region: Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, CaliforniaBlend: 58% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 8% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot Year: 2016 Gold Medal Winner - 2021 Sonoma County Harvest Fair Winemaker Notes: "This Bordeaux blend is made from grapes grown on, what else, our fence lines. To the south – Cabernet Sauvignon, the west – Merlot, leaving Petite Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc at our vineyard entrance. My reputation as a winemaker was born from my early Bordeaux blends, winning the Amateur Sweepstakes Red in 1992 at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair. With our 2016 FenceLine the tradition continues with this long lived Cabernet blend with all five of the Bordeaux varietals." Alcohol: 13.17% *Price and availability in store may vary.
