The 2021 RIGHT ANGLE is an expressive, eclectic blend of cabernet, malbec, petite sirah, and petit verdot, creating an intriguing mix of dark fruit, spice, savory elements, and supporting texture that is sure to please red wine lovers looking for something different at a great price point.

Full-bodied with ripe marionberry, black cherry, and plum jam on the smooth entry, leading to a midpalate featuring savory elements of cedar, dried sage, saddle leather, and sweet vanilla as well as complex star anise, cinnamon, and nutmeg barrel spice.
