Clif Family Winery The Climber 2023 Review

This is a quintessential bold Napa Valley blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s full of soft, plush black and blue fruits like plum, blackberry, and blueberry accented with soft hints of sweet spice and vanilla. Choose a protein, any protein, and this will seamlessly pair.
