Red Rock Winery features a label with stacked rocks – one of them red – a symbol of its belief that great wine is about finding balance.
That certainly describes this red California blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petite sirah, which embodies the notion of a fruit-forward wine.
Displaying dark purple color in the glass thanks to the petite sirah, this wine shows lots of jam characteristics and is quite sweet considering its varietals. It’s very smooth with a full mouth of berry and soft spice flavors, a reflection of the wine’s malolactic fermentation.
Sherry: “Big and bold with fruity black cherry, raspberry and light touch of rose on the finish.” 3-1/2 stars
Chris: “A sweeter blend of raspberry, plum, cherry and raisins.” 3 stars
Available locally for about $10.
Coming next week: Middle Sister Sweet and Sassy Moscato
