2020 Alicante Bouschet, Newsom Vineyards

2020 Alicante Bouschet, Newsom Vineyards

Savor Bending Branch Winery’s first release of rich and decadent Alicante Bouschet. Alicante Bouschet is a teinturier grape which means the flesh is red instead of clear like most wine grapes. Lovers of rich, fruit-forward red wines will be delighted. Originally cultivated as a blending grape, Alicante Bouschet is known for producing deep, dark, inky wines when used alone.
