Crafted from the sun-drenched slopes of Howell Mountain, the 2019 Respite Wines Red Blend is a stunning expression of Napa Valley’s rich terroir. Scoring a remarkable 95 points, it captivates with layers of dark cherry, ripe blackberry, and a hint of cocoa, all harmoniously intertwined with subtle notes of cedar and spice. The bold tannins provide a sturdy backbone, while a velvety mouthfeel makes it incredibly approachable. This wine shines alongside a hearty grilled ribeye or a rich mushroom risotto, making it a perfect choice for your next dinner party. With its high-quality pedigree and a retail price of $65, this bottle at $24.99 is a smart buy that delivers well beyond its peers.
