Rootdown “Es Okay” Red, Mendocino County, California

Es Okay Red is a blend of Portuguese red grape varieties: Touriga National, Tinta Cao, Tinta Ruiz, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Francisca. Fresh, classic glou glou style red, light-body, bursting with juicy red cranberry, blueberry, and cherry fruits. Woodsy with dried herbs and a plush texture. If I was a 21 year old little leaguer, this would be my jam. Literally. Plum jam, big league chew, concord grape all hit the senses. A nice, medium bodied, medium tannin, yet chewy with some black cherry earth tones. There's a variety of spice notes as well.
