Sensory :
Medium-bodied and fruit-forward, this wine opens with aromas of ripe plum and black currant, followed by layers of blackberry and a subtle lift of mint. On the palate, its texture is supple with well-integrated tannins and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. Earthy undertones of cedar and dusty soil bring depth to the finish, which remains balanced and pleasingly dry.
Winemaker’s Background:
Bacchus Cellars is the creation of David Gordon, longtime wine director of New York’s famed Tribeca Grill. Leveraging decades of experience and deep relationships with top growers across Napa, Sonoma, and the Central Coast, Gordon created Bacchus to deliver honest, expressive California wines that consistently punch above their weight. The label has become a trusted source for value-driven bottles that overdeliver in flavor and quality.
