Rare Red Blend


Rare Red
Zinfandel, Petite Syrah, Petite Verdot, Merlot blend
California
USA
2013
$9.95

A multi-vintage blend of Zinfandel, Petite Verdot, Petite Syrah, and Merlot that is full-bodied and fruit forward with a spicy and complex finish. This wine has been partially barrel aged for eight months in American and French oak.

This was a strong, fruity wine. It felt like it had a lot of heat to it, I'm not sure if that was a legitimate pepper flavor or the alcohol content. I think this needs to be paired with something to tone it out, maybe pasta? It'd be interesting to try it with food.
