The famous Big Wave red blend is back! This blend never disappoints, and fortunately it exceeded our expectations this year.

Gorgeous notes of blueberry, cassis, red cherry, and blackberry give this blend a deep and complex palate.

This wine is full bodied and exceptionally balanced. After savoring all those lush fruit flavors you will notice a hint of black pepper and almond appear.

Primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine will give you a wide range of pairing options including aged cheeses, cured meats, lamb, duck, and of course anything BBQ. 

The marrying of these two popular varietals is of course no accident. While the Merlot brings a brighter, fruitier, and slightly sweeter flavor profile to the table, the Cabernet Sauvignon meets it with robust, full bodied dark fruit flavors complimented by a hint of spice and a punch of tannins. Together, they balance each other and bring out the best in each individual varietal.
