Highlands 2021 Black Granite Red Blend Wine

Discover Highlands 41’s 2021 Paso Robles Red Blend—a bold yet approachable California wine crafted from a harmonious mix of Zinfandel (45%), Petite Sirah (20%), Malbec (15%), Syrah (10%), and Merlot (10%). Hailing from California’s Central Coast region, this wine embodies Paso Robles’ signature robustness while offering refined elegance through meticulous blending and aging techniques.

The grapes underwent gentle fermentation to preserve their natural fruit-forward character before being aged in oak barrels for ten months. This process infuses warm vanilla and spice notes into its core of juicy raspberry and blackberry flavors, accented by hints of plum sweetness and brown sugar undertones. With soft tannins and a smooth finish, it delivers an effortlessly balanced drinking experience—perfect for both casual sipping and special occasions.

At 14.9% alcohol by volume, this full-bodied red strikes an ideal balance between intensity and drinkability. Its rich complexity pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled meats or savory stews while remaining accessible enough for everyday enjoyment. Whether you’re hosting friends or celebrating a milestone, Highlands 41’s 2021 vintage stands out as a standout choice among California blends—a testament to the region’s winemaking expertise and this wine’s seamless integration of bold flavors and approachable texture.
