Taken Red Blend is a careful balancing act of light and dark. At first glance, the nose is dominated by ripe notes of raspberry, blackberry, black currant, and plum, but careful consideration reveals soft, floral undertones. Delicate hints of jasmine and vanilla bean elevate the palate while the body is defined by flavors of quince, roasted fig, and extra dark chocolate with a dash of allspice. This Napa Valley red wine received 91 points for the 2018 vintage from James Suckling in 2021. Aged 4 months in 25% Oak (86% French, 7% American, 7% Hungarian). This red wine pairs well with lasagna, bolognese and tomato-based pasta dishes. This bottle of wine has 14.3% ABV.
