Novelty Hill

89 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST. The '08 Novelty Hill Royal Slope Red is an intriguing blend of about half Merlot and the balance Syrah, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet.

Novelty Hill producers elegant reds. The Cabernet shows red fruit flavors; medium bodied, soft tannins on the palate and an easy finish. Works well with oven baked, herb chicken.
