Nick Goldschmidt’s Fidelity series offers great taste and value. This popular of Merlot, Cabernet, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, shows the elegance and power of blending varietals to make a great wine.
Color is a purple hue with a red middle. Aromas of fresh blueberries and red cherries. The touch of French vanilla oak rounds out a very enticing and complex nose. The palate is again fruit driven. Bright and well-structured with red fruit flavors and a supple finish. Tremendous value for a red blend from a winemaker of more than 30 years in the Alexander Valley. Drink now or over the next five years.
