Red Fox Cellars 44 Red Blend

A deceptively complex red wine blend consisting of 44% Syrah, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 6% Merlot, 44 is a chameleon in regards to food pairings. Herbaceous or tomato heavy dishes bring the wines fruit character to the forefront, enhancing jammy grape and plum character and masking the dry finish. Savory foods like cured meats, Italian sausage, or roasted meats tend to bring out roasted bell pepper character and earthy complexity, enhancing the tannin structure and allowing the flavor to linger. This is a great dinner wine that can stand up to a wide range of foods and that changes character based on what it is paired with. This wine is unfiltered which enhances body and flavor, but may contain a light sediment at the bottom of the bottle.
