The 2020 Red Blend, made from a blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 16% Syrah, is a dusty, bright, succulently complex wine. It presents full-bodied, balanced characteristics with velvety tannins and food-friendly acidity, ensuring the wine's longevity beyond its 12th birthday. It offers a delightful explosion of ripe red and blue fruit aromas and flavors. Although I've never sat down with winemaker Doug Fletcher to ask him about Klipsun's oak regimen, which claims to use 100% French oak—I am positive there is some American oak in their cellar—nevertheless, this red blend is delicious and will improve with age. About 20% new oak was used. 21,000 bottles were produced.
