Menage A Trois Sultry Red Smooth Red Blend Sweet Collection California 750 ML

It presents itself with great elegance and charm with precise aromas, imposing but very fine tannins and great length.\n \n Producer Information\n Ménage à Trois is a value-priced California wine brand owned by Trinchero Family Estates. Its portfolio includes more than a dozen wines made from popular international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Malbec, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc. The label was created in 1996 by the Folie à Deux winery in St Helena. It was initially a single red blend of three varieties – Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot – which gave the wine its name. A white blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Moscato was introduced as well. With its risqué name and affordable price tag, Ménage à Trois quickly became a popular brand, successfully incorporating the sexual innuendo of the label into its marketing. In 2004 the brand, along with Folie à Deux, was bought by Trinchero, which also owns the value-driven Sutter Home line of wines. Trinchero expanded the Ménage à Trois range to include more blends, and also introduced single variety wines. In 2009, Ménage à Trois was named wine brand of the year by the industry publication Market Watch, that same year selling 1.6 million cases. It continues to be made at the Folie à Deux winery, and has also expanded its label to a line of Vodka.
