{"product_id":"vdr-very-dark-red-red-blend","title":"VDR Very Dark Red Red Blend","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for VDR are grown on our estate vineyard in the Hames Valley sub-appellation, located in the southern reaches of Monterey County on the Central Coast of California. This little-known region of softly rolling topography presents ideal climatic conditions for growing top-notch reds. Hames Valley is defined by a dramatic day-to-night temperature swing, with a 50 degree differential quite common. Although most of Monterey County possesses a cool maritime climate due to the influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean, Hames is sheltered from the chilly winds and receives a healthy dose of sunshine during the day, followed by a precipitous drop in temperature as the sun goes down. The long, warm days allow full-bodied, dark fruit flavors to develop while the dramatic nighttime cooling preserves the balance and structure of this supple wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlend: Petit Verdot;Petite Sirah\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlcohol percentage: 14.5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery Dark Red. The name frankly speaks for itself. Petit Verdot is a grape of dark color, stout tannins and concentrated flavors. The small berries of Petite Sirah means a more intense maceration of skin-to-juice ratio and some of the longest tannins of any vinifera. Together they create a dark, concentrated wine that can be enjoyed now but will age well for a decade or more. VDR is full-bodied yet supple, with deep, ripe fruit flavors of black currant and black raspberry perfumed by delicate notes of crushed violet. A firm, chalky tannin structure belies the velvety, luscious mouthfeel. Dense flavors integrate beautifully for a long, layered finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDR","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":45724940861715,"sku":"410698","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/9751\/7843\/files\/a52a42233c47ad314c2625d827c586f519d471fa.png?v=1727214644","url":"https:\/\/www.theboozeoutlet.com\/products\/vdr-very-dark-red-red-blend","provider":"The Booze Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
