The bold tannins have mellowed into a counterweight for the bright fruit notes of raspberry, blackberry, and plum. There is a solid oak character with a hint of smoke that makes each sip open new doors of flavor.
I love this.
From Trader Joe's, this was in their red blends section for about $6.
I'm satisfied. 34% Syrah, but whats the rest? Bordeaux varietals? Zin?
Gamay? Concord?
Who knows? Who cares?
For $6, this could be my house red if it plays it's cards right. It is
light and fun and has a good balance of fruit and spice.
Throw your expectations in the gutter and be pleasantly surprised.
