In fire-fighting parlance, a “tillerman” steers the back of a hook& ladder truck. Our founder, Cecil De Loach, held this position in the San Francisco Fire Department. The Tillerma n red blend exhibits a deep purple, with notes of ripe wild berries,black cherry, and baking spices on the nose. Layered flavors of black currant and raspberry lead to a long finish of spice and dusty cocoa. Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Sangiovese, 16% Cabernet Franc, and 16% Merlot This elegant Cabernet Franc displays a dark magenta color and a full evolving bouquet of ripe black cherry, vanilla, and cured meats. A balanced structure oftannins and rich, sweet red fruit, followed by a trace of dry dark chocolate on the finish. Show more
