Brander F/Red is a fun and approachable red blend crafted by The Brander Vineyard in the Los Olivos District AVA of Santa Barbara County, California. The "F/" designation is short for Fête (French for celebration), capturing the wine's casual, party-ready character. It comes sealed with a twist-off cap for easy, everyday enjoyment.

The 2022 vintage is a blend of 34% Syrah, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 20% Malbec. The wine pours a deep, nearly opaque dark ruby color and opens with aromas of strawberry, red plum, crushed stone, herbs de Provence, pine bark, and a dusting of pepper. On the palate, brambly red fruit and homemade raspberry jam flavors are framed by fine-grained tannins and bright, piquant acidity. It is food-friendly and pairs well with a wide range of dishes from grilled meats to casual pasta.

The Brander Vineyard has been producing classically styled Santa Barbara County wines since 1975, with particular acclaim for its Sauvignon Blanc and red blends from the Los Olivos District appellation.
