THE FEDERALIST HONEST RED 2021

The Federalist blends 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Zinfandel, and 13% Petite Sirah from California, fermenting each varietal block separately to preserve ideal characteristics before blending at 14.5% alcohol. Juicy plum, blackberry, black currant, vanilla, and baking spice aromatics lead to rich mid-palate with supple tannins and black cherry core, carrying dark fruit and spice through a long finish with concentrated flavor. This round, accessible blend showcases The Federalist's approach to complexity through varietal harmony rather than extended aging—crafted for the modern American table with beautifully long finish and spicy vanilla notes.
