USA
Tasting Notes: This red blend consists of 63% Petit Verdot, 25%Petite Sirah and finished with a mix of heritage varietals. The1448” has a deep, rich colour that clings to the inside of a wine glass. The hues are youthful, with an edge of magenta. The aromas display blue and red fruits, most notably black raspberry and blueberry. The bouquet features hints of vanilla, spice, violets and lavender. The flavours are succulent and juicy, with plenty of soft ripe fruit framed by a toasted oak creaminess. The tannins are mature and add richness and texture to a finish that has beautiful acid balance. Pairs well with grilled tenderloin beef patty and wild mushroom sauce.
