Aromas of crushed red fruit cherries, briary fruits, and violets are matched with an electric red hue. The abundant natural acidity derived from the vineyard coupled with extreme extraction, frames an amazing palate that highlights ripe red fruits, cocoa and cinnamon. The complex and layered finish is wrapped in ripe, lush tannins that showcase the best traits of a Merlot and Cabernet blend.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Very deep purple-black in color, the 2015 Hossfeld Coliseum Proprietary Red (composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon) leaps from the glass with plum preserves, crème de cassis and dark chocolate notes plus hints of menthol, black cherry preserves and Indian spices. Full-bodied, soft, rich and sexy, this makes for a gorgeous taste of the vintage to enjoy right now, while you’re waiting for its big brothers to come ’round.

• Jeb Dunnuck: The 2015 Hossfeld Coliseum (80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a big, sexy beast of a wine. Currants, black cherries, chocolate, and leafy herbs/underbrush all soar from the glass of this full bore, pedal-to-the-metal beauty that has terrific purity of fruit as well as sweet tannin. It’s already impossible to resist yet will cruise for 15+ years.
