Uncorked: 7 Moons

7 Moons is a new wine that celebrates the seven phases of the moon by combining seven grape varietals sourced from prime California vineyards.  The 2015 7 Moons Red Blend is smooth, fruity, and easy to drink, with a moon phase label that evokes its “made for the moonlight” mantra, the perfect companion to the nightly ritual winding down and relaxing.  This is perfect for a weekend with friends.  Cheers!

2015 VINTAGE

The 2015 growing season saw a mild winter followed by a cool spring which contributed to smaller grape clusters and a lighter crop. The summer progressed with nearly ideal conditions and harvest was remarkably smooth without any major frost events or heat spikes. Across the board, the fruit showed great balance of acidity, sugar, and optimal color and flavor development. The resulting wines have superb color and show great depth, complexity, varietal intensity, and balance.

WINEMAKER NOTES

7 Moons is a red blend of 7 different grape varietals sourced from prime vineyards up and down California’s Central Coast and Lodi regions. Our 2015 red blend opens with aromas of chocolate-covered cherries, baking spices, and vanilla bean. Flavors of strawberry preserves, cherry cola, and milk chocolate follow through to a fruit-forward, lingering finish. Delicious paired with a broad range of foods from barbecued chicken and caprese salad to Chinese take-out.
