California, United States
Apothic Red is a broad California blend built for a lush, dark-fruited profile. The statewide sourcing gives flexibility and consistency, with warm-climate fruit at the center of the style.
Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon
Zinfandel brings jammy berry fruit and spice, Merlot softens the texture, Syrah adds dark fruit and pepper, and Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure and cassis depth.
Fruit may come from multiple California regions, so winemaking choices define the final profile. Ripe picking, smooth extraction, and oak influence emphasize mocha, vanilla, and soft tannins.
A plush nose of black cherry, blackberry jam, vanilla, mocha, caramel, and baking spice signals a rich, modern red-blend style.
Apothic helped popularize the modern California red-blend category with a bold, accessible flavor profile.
