Darcie Kent Estate Winery Firepit Red Blend 2022 Review
If you haven’t been to California’s Livermore Valley, just know that drinking this wine by a fire pit would actually be perfect. It’s a bold blend of 65 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 percent Petite Sirah, 10 percent Cabernet Franc, and 5 percent Merlot, brimming with notes of crushed berries and soil. The palate brings more juicy, supple fruit character with a nice supportive acidity and lingering finish.
