Amuse Bouche Red Blend Napa Valley 2022 750ml

Amuse Bouche Napa Valley Red Blend 2022 is a prestigious Pomerol-style red blend from Napa Valley, crafted by renowned winemaker Heidi Barrett.

The 2022 vintage is composed of 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, with fruit sourced from vineyards in the eastern hills of Rutherford. The wine represents the signature style of Amuse Bouche: rich, plush and concentrated, yet balanced by fresh acidity and refined tannins.

The 2022 growing season resulted in a later-than-usual harvest following unseasonably cool conditions. The grapes achieved excellent ripeness while retaining freshness, producing a wine with impressive depth and balance.

The aromatic profile combines ripe cherry and dark fruit with vanilla, baking spices, herbs and subtle chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and generously textured, with velvety tannins and a persistent finish.

This is a sophisticated Napa Valley red designed for premium dining, special occasions and collectors of age-worthy California wines.
