This elegant wine is inky purple in color and has aromas of boysenberries and chocolate dipped brandied cherries, with hints of anise. On entry it has a rich and velvety texture with flavors of cocoa powder, vanilla, and Sorrento ham. Its sweet and dense mid-palate impression is followed by a soft, silky and generous mouth feel.

93 Point Review - Somm Chris Sawyer …One of those reliable wines is the 2011 Ty’s Red from the Caton Vineyard in Sonoma Valley. Rich and spicy with a velvety texture, this unique blend Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Sirah has stately dark berry aromas and deep flavors of ripe blackberry, boysenberry, cherry, mint, and a hint of smoke. Think of it as your big playmaker or the go-to wine that impresses your guests anytime you serve it.

Vineyard Notes Located in the foothills of Sonoma Valley, the Caton Vineyard is defined by its sustainable farming and belief that healthier vineyards produce very unique and distinctive wines.
