Delicious, if a little superripe, with chocolate and raisin-infused blackberry and cherry flavors. Feels soft and melted in the mouth, but dry, and the tannic structure is rewardingly plush.

This Rhône blend is based on Syrah. It’s a typically soft, lush and slightly sweet Paso Robles red wine, with easy flavors of red currants, raspberries, cherries, chocolate, beef jerky and pepper.

As delicious as pie filling, with rich black cherry, brown sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, pepper and vanilla flavors. Could use greater tannin-acid structure, though.

Extremely high alcohol, well over 16%, gives this wine a hot, peppery mouthfeel, and makes it quite heady, as well. It tastes rich in Port-like currants, licorice and chocolate. Syrah, Cab, Merlot.
