Ben loves on an Arizona Strongold Mangus

WHO: Arizona Stronghold Vineyard
WHAT: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon 36% Sangiovese 9% Merlot
WHEN: 2008
WHERE: Sulphur Springs Valley near Cochise, AZ
HOW: Mostly neutral oak (older barrels that impart no flavor) and a few choice 2 to 3 year old French oak barrels. Around January, they rack all of the barrels once, and then pump the juice back into those same barrels. Come April/May, the blending process begins and after the blend is chosen, it is pumped into stainless steel to homogenize for a couple of months until bottling.
