2021 Painted Fields by Andis 'Curse of Knowledge' Red Blend Sierra Foothills

Winemaker Notes:  Curse of Knowledge is a Bordeaux style blend that was created to change the perception of the Sierra Foothills’ as a new dimension of perfectly balanced, well structured, high-quality wine. The intense ruby color and a sensational bouquet of dried violet, black cherry, fresh herbs, and cocoa powder will catch your attention. A balanced mid-palate, generous, and round due to the velvety tannins with a lingering finish of dark berries and black licorice.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Tasting Panel - "A blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot that spent 14 months in 25% new French oak barrels. Dried heather, licorice, and wild strawberry are surrounded by gentle tannins. Cola and bittersweet chocolate merge with cedar for a sassy, rustic finish."
