| Description: | Tasting NOTES\r\n2020 Intercept Red Blend has aromas of berry cobbler, savory herbs, and caramelized sugar. The wine is full-bodied with fine-grained tannins on the mid-palate and a long spicy finish.\r\nFood Pairing - smoked meats, burgers, or Spanish style tapas.\r\n\r\nWhen making our Intercept Red Blend we targeted some of our favorite vineyards in Paso Robles. Petite Sirah and Zinfandel are at the heart of this blend, highlighting two varieties that do extremely well in Paso Robles. Aged in French and Eastern European oak for 18 months.\r\nAbout Charles Woodson's Intercept Wine\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIT\u2019S All About The JOURNEY.\r\n\r\nIn his own words.\r\n\u201cMy love of wine happened organically while in Napa Valley for training camp when I was playing for the Oakland Raiders early in my career. There I developed a great appreciation for wine and the people around it. As my career went along, more of us players started getting into wine. On road trips, we would bring bottles and break bread together. It was an experience that bonded us.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s one of the many ways I began to see the overlaps between wine and football.\r\nWhen you watch a game on Sunday, you just see the final output of all the time us players put in the week before, maybe even the summer before. It\u2019s the same with wine. You buy a bottle of wine, you open it, you drink it, and, hopefully, you\u2019re satisfied with what you\u2019re getting. You get to enjoy the final product, but don\u2019t necessarily see all the work that went into it. The weather, the terroir, the blending \u2013 and everything else that affects that bottle. There are many pitfalls that can get in your way and potentially spoil everything you have worked so hard for!\r\nI approach wine just like athletics: You can bruise your hip, or dislocate your shoulder, but you\u2019ve still got to pull through on Sundays. You\u2019ve still got to deliver world-class wines each vintage, and that's where you truly understand there\u2019s no substitute for hard work.\r\nI created Intercept as a thank you to my fans. I wanted to give them high quality wine at an affordable price because they deserve it. The name \u2018Intercept\u2019 is a nod to my career, but also a reminder that during every moment of your life, the possibilities are wide open. You just have to go get it.\u201d\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n |
