Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants's video: Charred Winter Squash Salad

Not a Member? Join at: http://chwinery.com/wine-club/overview For our December Wine of the Month, we wanted to produce a bold yet balanced wine that would showcase the diversity of many varietals. The word Duodecim means “12” in Latin, it represents the twelve varietals used as well as the twelfth month of the year. This blend is predominantly merlot, petite sirah and cabernet sauvignon with several others giving this wine a full-bodied and rich taste, with firm tannins and well-balanced acidity. We decided to pair this with a great winter salad, that has caramelized squash, marcona almonds, dates and finished with extra virgin olive oil and a reduction of this beautiful red wine with a touch of balsamic and honey. The loads of dark fruit and spice in this wine pair perfectly with the slight caramelization of the squash and natural sweetness.
