Ziata Red Blend Mia Madre Napa 2018

Ziata "Mia Madre" Napa Valley Red Blend is a poignant and powerful tribute to winemaker Karen Cakebread’s mother.

The mouthfeel is famously structured and architectural, featuring "iron-fist-in-a-velvet-glove" tannins—firm enough to age for decades, yet polished enough to feel luxurious today. It is a "monumental" Napa red that finishes with a long, resonant trail of dark chocolate and savory spice
