Tussock Jumper 2017 Sweet Cat Red Blend

Created for warm-weather grilling season, this low-tannin wine is a blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and corvina grapes from Verona, Italy.

The wine is soft and velvety on the palate, the company reports, with notes of cherry jam, red currants, raspberries and dark plums on the nose and palate. Light oak is also present from spending four months in barrels.

Tussock Jumper’s 2017 Sweet Cat red blend may be enjoyed slightly chilled, ideal for picnic and grilling season.
