2017 Côtière Dérive Red Blend California

WSI93+ VIN93 The 2017 Dérive Red Blend is an unusual blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot that incorporates fruit from both Napa Valley and Santa Ynez Valley. Exotic and flamboyant to the core, Dérive reflects the warmth of the year with its exotic fruit and flamboyant personality. Macerated cherry, licorice, spice and chocolate give this sensual red so much immediacy and pure appeal.
