My, what a big variety of grapes there are in this blend.
All the better, so that we can taste them.
This is a luscious, fruit-forward wine with a body of merlot, syrah, cabernet sauvignon, zinfandel, tannat, grenache and other grapes. It doesn’t bite like drier red wines, so it would be an excellent starter wine for red wine novices, but it has enough body to hold through the finish and balance the sweetness.
The wine is part of a fairy-tale inspired line of labels. We look forward to trying the other viticulture-inspired tales and to live happily ever after.
Sherry: “Very smooth, with flavors of strawberry, cherry and red licorice.” 3-3/4 stars
Chris: “Flavors of cherry and strawberry cloaked with candy apple and cinnamon.” 3-1/2 stars
Available locally from $10 to $12.
Coming next week: Lo Duca Reggiono Lambrusco
