SEAN MINOR SIGNATURE SERIES NICOLE MARIE RED BLEND 2024

Named for Sean Minor's wife and co-founder Nicole, this North Coast red blend pairs 50% Merlot with 25% Zinfandel and 25% Petite Sirah—fruit sourced through long-term contracts with sustainable growers across California's fog-cooled coastal appellations. Consulting winemaker Will Bucklin, who has collaborated with Sean since the label's 2005 launch, aged the blend in a combination of French and American oak. Sustainably produced and vegan, it opens with ripe blueberry and dark cherry, moves into warm vanilla and cassis at the mid-palate, and finishes with cracked pepper and subtle oak spice.
