2020 Whistle Punk Red Blend *Limited Release*
Our 2020 Whistle Punk is a superb – very well balanced red wine. Very dark purple color, flavors and aromas of vanilla bean – graham cracker barrel notes compliment the grape notes beautifully. Ripe black cherries plus purple plums complete the flavor and aroma profile. Whistle Punk is not only a great food wine, a glass of it finishes your days work perfectly. Match with homemade burgers, stews centered around beef or lamb or a savory eggplant Parmesan.
Varietal Composition | The color is a striking purple – red. The nose offers blackberry, raspberry aromas plus a light clove note. Vanilla bean and toasted coconut compliments of the French and American oak barrel aging add additional aromas and flavors. The mouthfeel is very soft – almost plush. The body is what I would rate medium - plus. Fine grained tannins are in sync with the generous fruit. This wine may be aged a good 6 to 8 years. Suggested pairing would be with a delicious plate of eggplant parmesan or grilled lamb kebab seasoned with Moroccan spices (marjoram, cumin, coriander and Harissa paste), rice and dates.
