2016 William Church Bishop's Blend
The Bishops Blend changes slightly each year, but remains with Cabernet Sauvignon as its base. Bottled slightly earlier than some of the other wines, this wine is always designed to be an introduction to the wines of William Church, and exemplify the balance and fruit driven wines crafted here. This is a wine that can be enjoyed with a variety of foods, and every day. Dried cherry, pomegranate, huckleberry, and a hint of tea leaf lead to a dense pallet with chewy, soft tannins. The finish begins with fig, then continues with baking chocolate and hints of coffee.
