Owner of Cannon Estate Wines Talks To Us About A New Blend From La Sirena: Art Bus Red
The Art Bus Red is a brand new blend from La Sirena. Art Bus Red celebrates the Art of winemaking. I have often compared the Art of blending to painting, like having more colors on my palette and palate! . In both, the Artist uses different hues (flavors) to create something truly unique and delicious. In this rich layered blend, I sought to capture the thrill of Art as a tribute to Artists everywhere. Strive to create beauty.
From the minute you pull the cork, the aromas are deep, rich, and enticing. Black cherry fruit with notes of cinnamon, caramel, graham cracker, and vanilla. Explosive flavors match the aromas in a big, yet soft and silky blend. Flavors persist, tannins very mild, structure is solid and built to last. Made from our estate vineyards here in Calistoga (except a tidbit of CF from Oakville). This is “one of the good ones” from the tiny crop produced in 2008 after the spring frost. While tasty now, this is a wine that is also cellar-worthy, easily 10-15 years.
