2016 Winemaker's Reserve Calliope Red

Aged in traditional, French oak Foudres, this classic blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvedre engages with its inviting color of freshly crushed berries. Deep yet fresh aromas of soft baking spices blend with ripe raspberry, black cherry, vanilla bean, and light toast. The first sip fills your palate as cherry melds with dried cranberry, ginger and dried herbs, leading to a clean finish brimming with berry, cola and grated nutmeg. 

Interesting facts: The second vintage of Calliope that all varietals are 100% Callaway estate fruit and 100% aged in our new Foudre. The oak expression has a subtle influence, which in turn highlights more varietal character. this is extremely important due to the five varietals in the Callipe blend. 85% of the blend is wild, indigenous yeast.
