Think back to when you were a kid. What would Mom and Dad have said if you ran in the room yelling “I’m going to have blackberries, and cherries, and chocolate with sweet coconut and spice before dinner!” They probably would have wacked you in the head, or at the very least, told you to wait for dessert. But as an adult? All you have to do is say “I’m going to pour myself a glass of 2008 Tetra Napa Valley Red Blend. Does anyone else want one?” and those same parents will be falling over themselves to say yes.

And that’s the magic of wine! Instead of being some fruity after-meal dessert, those same fruit flavors become something that tastes wonderful with dinner, or maybe a nice chilly night on the porch watching the autumn moon. It’s a two pack, so it’s made to share, right? Or maybe, it’s made to be gifted.

Here’s your chance to let the little kid inside you win at last. Enjoy that mouthful of blackberries and cherry compote before a meal! Drink deep the chocolate, cedar and leather as the density melts in your mouth! Because it’s not a dessert, it’s a classy 2008 Tetra Napa Valley Red Blend. And it’s made so you can have it any time you like.

• Varietal Content: 49% Cabernet, 23.5% Petite Verdot, 23.5% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc

2008 Tetra’s dense, black-cherry hue plays to the layers of rich, ripe fruit in this gutsy wine – giving you a sense of the luscious experience to come. Complex aromas and flavors follow suit offering an explosive palate of blackberry and cherry compote balanced by generous measures of fresh leather, chocolate, and cedar. The massive density slowly melts in your mouth and gives way to a lengthy, savory finish punctuated by sweet coconut-spice.
