2016 Four Oak Red
The 2016 Four Oak Red is the fourth vintage for us at Chankaska. The Wine Making team hand selected the best barrels from each lot to make up the Four Oak Red. They combine the best of several appellations in California: Napa Valley, Lake County and Lodi.
On the nose, 2016 Four Oak Red exhibits vanilla bean, coconut butter and fresh thyme. On the palate firm tannins and dark chocolate. For those cold winter nights, this California blend will be your moment of serenity in a glass. Each sip exemplifies the perfect harmony of all four grapes.
It would make an ideal pairing with a hearty Ragu, beef burgundy or with a piece of your favorite dark chocolate.
