2021 Our Lady of Grapes Red Blend: A Tribute to Estate Excellence in Summer
The 2021 Our Lady of Grapes Red Blend is a profound expression of our estate vineyard’s legacy, honoring the sun-soaked terroir of Napa Valley. Crafted from select Bordeaux varietals, this wine delivers power and poise in equal measure—an exceptional choice for summer celebrations, long-table dinners, and moments of reflection under golden skies. With its richness and structure, it’s a blend built to impress now and for years to come.
Tasting Experience
Pouring a deep garnet hue, this expressive blend opens with a captivating bouquet of summer-spiced cinnamon, dried rose petals, mint, tobacco leaf, and red cherry. On the palate, it is bold yet refined, revealing layers of black cherry, cedar, crushed slate, and subtle herbal notes. Firm tannins and vibrant acidity provide excellent structure, while a mineral-driven finish lingers with grace. A wine of complexity and balance, it speaks to the exceptional character of the 2021 vintage.
Summer Pairing Suggestions
The robust profile of this Red Blend pairs beautifully with grilled summer fare and richly flavored dishes. Enjoy it with marinated tri-tip, rosemary lamb burgers, or smoky eggplant Parmesan. It also shines alongside charcuterie boards layered with prosciutto, aged cheddar, and fig jam, or grilled portobello mushrooms with balsamic glaze. For a touch of decadence, serve it with grilled peaches wrapped in pancetta or a summer beef ragu. Decant before serving to unlock its full aromatic and textural potential.
This is a wine to savor—an ideal choice for sunset gatherings, milestone celebrations, or quiet moments of gratitude. Drink now or cellar for years of continued evolution and enjoyment.
