The 2014 Maestro Red Blend Napa Valley (from Robert Mondavi)
“Highly inspired by the response to our limited-release 50th Anniversary Maestro, we once again let artistic direction in the vineyard lead us to a unique blend in this second rendition of Maestro, where a crescendo of dark, juicy plum and cassis fruit, violet, cinnamon, and unsweetened cocoa linger on sumptuous sips full of vibrant flavor and plush tannins.”
Winemaker Joe Harden joined Wine Channel TV host Jessica Altieri for a day of sips, tastes and hoops. Yes, hoops. Watch for upcoming episodes of Joe and Jess on the basketball court talking about the passion and love of wine.
