Cockamamie Rooster's Blend 2012
About the wine
Brand New Release - luscious red blend
- Dark, dark fruit and spices and cloves and earthiness -- This is Calaveras at its best with a luscious blend of Mourvedre, Tempranillo and Petite Sirah.
- 2012 is a banner year showing off all the best parts of the Sierra Foothills and Angel funding the fruit way ahead of time means we get the best prices even when the market goes berserk over the quality of the grapes.
- Less than 500 cases of this bad boy were produced so you have very little time before Jeff blasts this out to his legion of fanatic followers.
