Scouting Report
“It’s no secret that Cabernet is beautiful all by itself, but the artistic blending of other grapes can result in a wine with layers of complexity not found in a wine made from a single variety. ‘Proprietary Red’ listed on the label gives the winemaker freedom to express their artistic ability without constraints of labeling laws. It’s also a great way for you to get acquainted with lesser-known grapes you thought you didn’t like. Just make sure to ask your Wine Scout about the blend once you’ve had a chance to enjoy the wine."
