Tasting Notes

Blue Rock’s 2022 Baby Blue Red Blend from Sonoma County is a vibrant and expressive wine built around Cabernet Sauvignon, with supporting roles from Merlot, Syrah, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. It opens with rich aromas of bing cherry, raspberry, cinnamon, and dried sage, followed by a palate that showcases dried cranberry, cherries jubilee, and vanilla cream. The wine’s full-bodied structure is balanced by ripe tannins and lively acidity, making it both approachable and age-worthy. Its jammy viscosity and hints of baking spice and forest herbs lend depth and complexity. This red blend pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses, where its fruit-forward profile and spice notes enhance savory flavors and textures.
