Vertex Blend 620
A vertical in a glass!
VERTEX RED CUVÉE BLEND 620
Solera Style inspired Non-Vintage
California
Gabrielle searched for a personal daily wine to enjoy by the glass or with meals that was approachable in taste and price- yet intriguingly satisfying. She could not find it, so she made it! Multiple blind tasting by a panel of fellow wine lovers put Vertex in first place over other wines every time. It has become a favorite of many.
A VERTICAL IN A GLASS! It is standard practice to save a few barrels of past vintages to blend into current vintages to offer complexity. Barrels from the 2011- 2013 vintages were blended to create this charming non-vintage.
