Watermill Winery 2022 Chances R Red Blend

Published: May 17, 2026

This red blend of Bordeaux varietals includes 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. On the nose, it presents aromas of black fruit with notes of cedar, dried herbs, leather and a dash of Allspice. On the palate, it delivers a rounded and juicy mouthfeel with flavors of black cherry balanced by minerally notes of graphite that linger through the mid-palate before notes of chocolate appear on the lengthy finish.
