2022 Pippin Hill Red Pump, Virginia, United States

Our popular Red Pump 2022 is the perfect representation of the grapes in this blend: Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Chambourcin, Merlot, and Tannat. Not just a mishmash, but a measured blending, so the best characteristics of each grape shine through. The sweet nose brings to mind raisin and red licorice followed by deeper fruit flavors of blackberry and black cherries, with a finish that’s lightly acidic and with light tannins. Red Pump is the perfect pairing wine for spicy foods, burgers from the grill, pizza and is best served at room temp or slightly chilled. Keep this one on deck for a backyard barbecue, or a relaxing gathering with friends.
