An exceptional red blend of four classic varieties, SUPERFECTA®, is named for a betting term used to predict the first four finishers of a horse race in the correct sequence. Seabiscuit Ranch produces this proprietary wine with primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, adding small amounts of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc for nuance and structure. These four varieties come together beautifully with mouth-filling fruit flavors, elegance and finesse. The Superfecta has deep purple color, concentrated ripe fruit aromas and flavors, and medium-to-robust body. It has soft tannins and is ideal for drinking now, yet will benefit from further bottle aging for many years.
