Experience
This is a fantastic red blend. Tastes like a good American wine, but has enough subtlety to be mistaken for something European. Anyone who likes red wine should pick up a bottle - this picks up the best things about many reds and balances all of those parts beautifully. 36.4% Malbec, 40.4% Merlot, 20% Syrah, and 100% awesomeness from the Richard Dinner Vineyards in Sonoma. 512 cases produced.
Winery
Located on beautiful Sonoma Mountain, Rocky Hill Farm has been enjoyed and cared for by four generations. It is a magical place covered with magnificent oak trees scattered along a pristine hillside with a rugged and rocky terrain. Rocky Hill has set out to create approachable wines with structure and balance, not overpowered by oak, without overwhelming fruit, and that serve as a compliment to a well-prepared meal. Their 2008 Proprietary Red Blend is simply stunning.
