What a crowd pleaser. People love red blends, and The 14 Hands Smooth Red hits on all cylinders – value priced, easy drinking, retail availability – what’s not to love?
This is a juicy red wine, showing deep concentration of dark red fruit. Its primary varieties are Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon which provides structure. Kudos to winemaker Zach Richardson and the winemaking team for sourcing fruit from prime Columbia Valley properties, yet nonetheless putting out an affordable red blend.
This is a very good wine, and especially at this price point. Pair this with casual red with Italian red sauce dishes, pasta, pizza, and grilled pork tenderloin with a light BBQ sauce marinade. Drink now and enjoy. Buon appetito! You can learn more about winemaker Zach by reading his interview.
