Mission Codename Red Beauty
What’s a WIA run without Ty! While it was hard to pick from his lineup of all winners, the Entycement Zin blend is the one that truly over-delivers amongst his gorgeous reds at an unbelievable price!
We’ve been featuring the wines of Ty Caton since 2008. In that time, we’ve gotten to know Ty and his wonderful wines, which we would characterize as consistently delivering tremendous value, and memorable drinking experience. An Ultra Affordable WIA winner exceeding expectations of quality and value.
Ty made a beautiful wine with its bright ruby core and lip that flashes brilliant magenta. The nose is aromatic and generally inviting with a hefty bouquet of fruit including ripe raspberries, boysenberry, plum and cherry, with subtle violets and vanilla. Just straight up tasty, it takes a dark turn with black cherry and black plum, potpourri with rich leather and dark chocolate nuances. Exceedingly well-balanced, this is exactly what you want from a red blend - A full, rich mouthfeel, ample silky tannin, robust fruit that sings straight through to the finish. Perfect for pasta night. Ravioli with a hearty bolognese would be out of this world.
Ty’s wines have been featured on Wine Spies nearly 30 times in these last 11+ years. We keep going back for more because we simply adore his wonderful wines. We feature Ty’s wines because his careful, studious approach always results in a well-crafted wine that delivers real value - and our Operatives have taken notice. Snap yours up before they’re all gone because this fan favorite will not last the day!
This special treat was originally offered to you with our heartiest recommendation which stands the test of time, get ready for Entycement.
