USA California Red
Paso Robles 75cl
Sadly these wines are unavailable in the UK, but last year i bought quite a lot of wines from California- just to taste and see what was going on with some of the hottest wineries. This is a blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre. Ripe black cherry and plum on the nose, quite sweet fruit with spice and chocolate. It's 15.4% but hides it well, a lovely creamily textured wine with black cherry and plum, hints of liquorice, black pepper and meat. Full and dense but with ripe tannins, was fantastic with roast rib of beef tonight. Just in it's drinking window but no hurry.
