Rare Red

Name: Rare Red

Variety: Zinfandel, Petite Syrah, Petite Verdot, Merlot

Country: California

Year: NV

Price: $10

Bottles Finished: 0 (Tasting Only)






Wine review: 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.


My review: Not impressed. Although this blend is supposed to smell this way, I do not care for the corked aromas, although the hints of wood was refreshing. Sour but nutty on the palate, the wine seemed harsh to drink. Definitely not a repeat.
