Introduction:
Calliope Figure 8 Red Blend is a vibrant, layered, and balanced wine that delivers expressive fruit, spice, and herbal complexity. Crafted from a carefully selected blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and a touch of Petit Verdot/Malbec, this wine is both approachable and thought-provoking.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Aromas of cassis, cranberry, raspberry, red plum, and cherry, lifted by violet, sage, and dried thyme.

• Palate: Juicy and energetic, with a medium body and medium tannins. Layers of dark chocolate, cocoa, paprika, pepper, and graphite complement the core of cherry, currant, and mixed berry fruit.

• Finish: Fresh, with lingering notes of spice and dark fruit complexity.

Pairings:
Enjoy with spaghetti and meatballs, lightly spiced white bean and tomato stew, or grilled sausages with herb-roasted vegetables.
