"The Tillerman" Red Blend 2019

a Cabernet Sauvignon Blend from Chalk HillCA
$26 per bottle

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. This years' Tillerman red blend displays a mix of dark maroon and scarlet tones with aromas of cinnamon, spicy bing cherry, and anise. Full flavors of ripe fig and blackberry abound while finishing with trace coffee and dark cocoa covered currants.
