Mira Jimmy D's Red Blend 2021

Distinctly bolder than prior Jimmy D’s vintages, Jimmy D's Red Blend 2021 draws its power from the prominence of Cabernet Sauvignon and the absence of Syrah. Subtle notes of warm vanilla introduce a deeply layered palate, where earthy and nutty tones evolve with remarkable concentration. Already a pleasure in the glass, it is also built to mature gracefully for over two decades. Cabernet Sauvignon 63% · Cabernet Franc 25% · Petit Verdot 12%.

"Dark garnet color. Aromas of chocolate covered toffee biscotti, black cherry, and marzipan with a round, vibrant, dryish medium-to-full body and a tingling, engaging, medium-length cocoa and toffee, black cherry and blackberry, almond paste, and vanilla and leather finish. The ripe fruit on the nose pulls you in and the bright acidity keeps you coming back for more; a great example of a food friendly red blend from Napa Valley." -- 90 points, Beverage Testing Institute
