Mission Codename Blended in heaven
Today’s 2010 Napa Valley Red Wine is quite the debut for Rua Wines. We strive to find under-the-radar gems for our Operatives, and we struck gold with today’s wonderfully delicious blend.
This delicious blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc comes from one amazing vineyard in Carneros. Grown side-by-side, with Cab Franc on the western slope and Merlot on the east, this small valley vineyard receives cool evening breezes off San Pablo Bay, which help temper the midday heat and create a near perfect growing environment.
If you love red blends as much as we do, please snap up a few bottles (or cases!) of today’s stunning wine.
