Great Red Blend Value




Great Wine!
Great Cause!
2015 Purple Heart Sonoma Red Wine...$12.99
Compare to $16.79 at Total Wine and More
67% Merlot, 19% Zinfandel, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Cabernet Franc
It has aromas of cedar, plums, blackberries and black currant with hints of black licorice. Dark ruby and opaque in appearance, this medium-bodied wine is lushly textured with notes of red and black fruits, blueberry and hints of cardamom. Seamless across the palate, the wine has a long, velvety mouthfeel and finely balanced tannins. It will drink beautifully upon release and will continue to gain complexity and grace with 4-5 years cellaring. 

Winemaker, John Moynier
In April 2017, Marc and Peter Jr. turned to an old friend—John Moynier—to assume the winemaking helm at Purple Heart Wines. A proud veteran of the US Air Force from 1968-1972

Purple Heart Wines makes a generous annual donation to the Purple Heart Foundation, an organization dedicated to serving the unmet needs of military men, women and families. For over 60 years the Purple Heart Foundation has been supporting and honoring the sacrifice military veterans have made for our country. Last year alone, the foundation helped over 19,000 veterans secure over $210 million dollars in VA benefits with their professionally trained VA Service Officers. Only with your continued support will the Purple Heart Foundation be able to provide desperately needed programs to assist veterans with new Service Dogs, Educational Scholarships, resources to help cope with Post Traumatic Stress, and necessary funding for research to heal those suffering with Traumatic Brain Injuries.

Transitioning from the battlefield to the home front has never been more difficult, and every dollar donated makes a difference in the lives of our men and women in uniform – yesterday, today and tomorrow. Stand with the Purple Heart Foundation and Honor the Sacrifice of Americas Veterans!
