Winery Review: "This super-smooth blend is full-bodied, offering blackberry-strawberry jam, Red Vine licorice, dried nutmeg, cinnamon bun, sweet cigar and molten chocolate, with a dry, mouthwatering finish. It feels like cashmere on the palate. It's a perfect pairing for mole." (Tonya Pitts on Wine Enthusiast).
Wine Folly: pg. 117 on Kindle on Grenache in general. Got a bit of the leathery, darker tastes. Extremely dry and still smooth. Page 172 on Syrah, picked up a little bit of the chocolate flavor as well. For all three varietals, felt the wine was very dry. I let it breathe for about an hour before tasting per the recommendation.
My Review: As someone who does not enjoy red wine typically, I enjoyed this blend very much. Very smooth on the palate and was very dry, which I enjoyed. The flavors were rich and juicy, and I really picked up on the jammy, blackberry flavors that the review specifies and that are characteristic of the varietals. Overall, had a pleasant experience tasting this wine and would definitely have this again.
I tasted this wine without food.
