The 2010 Oakley Five Reds is a silky blend of Merlot, Barbera, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. Fifty-one percent of the blend comes from our Oakley, Contra Costa County vineyards and the balance is sourced from our cool climate Sonoma Coast vineyards.
Grapes are handpicked and de-stemmed. Must is pumped to our temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, then inoculated with a wine yeast selected for its hardiness and alcohol tolerance. Once the wine has extracted desired level of tannins, the grapes are pressed. Both free run and press juice combine to enhance the wine’s structure. The wine is racked to 39% new French oak with a medium toast.
Flavors of spicy berries, pepper and delicate green olives make this wine an excellent accompaniment to spicy western grub or tomato-based dishes. Round up your posse and enjoy.
