2019 Audēre Red Blend
96 Points Sunset International
Back by popular demand — and bolder than ever. The 2019 Audēre Red Blend is a showstopper, blending power, elegance, and a touch of flair. With only 349 cases produced, this best-selling favorite (43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, and 1% Petit Verdot) was barrel-aged 23 months in 90% new French and Hungarian oak, delivering serious structure, bold extraction, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. Sourced from our Rockwell Ridge estate at the top of Crystal Springs and premium Napa sites like Pritchard Hill, Atlas Peak, and Howell Mountain, it bursts with dark cherry liqueur, black currants, violets, and finishes with mocha crème brûlée decadence. Very reminiscent of the inaugural 2013 Audēre, this is sure to please even the biggest Sideways-loving, Merlot-hater. Oh—and yes, the rumors are true: the label glows in the dark.
