A Californian Red Blend can surprise you every time. And that's because California is a haven for grape growers, where microclimates are plentiful, and sunshine is guaranteed. This leads to cultivation of many different varietals, each of which may add their own secret sauce to the blend. Imagine you're a winemaker and you have an idea of a wine you're reaching for...It should have bursts of ripe black fruit flavors like blackberry and blueberry..Perhaps you also want to incorporate dried herb notes..And what about the color? You're aiming for a dark, inky, almost purple hue...Well, there's a grape for any of those! California Red Blends draw on their rich history of grape-growing, not as ancient as the Old World, but very interesting nonetheless. It's been a couple of centuries since European settlers started planting their favorite grapes in the state so you can find celebrated varieties from all over countries like France, Spain, Italy, and Germany, not to mention a few indigenous varieties as well.
