Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 High on the Hog is scented of spicy blackberries, charcuterie, black plums and licorice. The medium-bodied palate is brighter and fresher than expected, with a long, spicy finish.
Jeb Dunnuck: 91 PointsA mix of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Graciano, and a few other varieties, the 2019 High On The Hog has lots of ripe plum, flowery incense, and pepper nuances as well as a medium to full-bodied style on the palate. It’s a pleasure-bent beauty to drink in its youth.
High on the Hog is a wine you can drink for any occasion. Around the holiday dinner table in the Myers house, grandmother would always look and say, “we are living high on the hog tonight, aren’t we?” This blend is in memory grandma and her joy at seeing the family eating and living well.
Blend: 48% Grenache, 26% Petite Sirah, 7% Syrah, 7% Zinfandel, 5% Mourvedre, 5% Malbec, 2% Lagrein
Red blend wines are a versatile category in which winemakers artfully combine various red grape varieties to produce wines with a diverse and harmonious flavor profile. By blending grapes with different characteristics, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and others, winemakers can create wines that balance fruitiness, acidity, tannins, and other elements. This flexibility allows for a broad spectrum of styles, ranging from easy-drinking and approachable blends to more complex and structured ones. Red blends often showcase the winemaker's skill in achieving a desired flavor and texture, offering wine enthusiasts a delightful exploration of the interplay between different grape varietals. The composition of red blends can vary, not only between different wine regions but also among individual wineries, making them a fascinating category for both winemakers and wine enthusiasts alike.
