Tasting - Rare Red

Name: Rare Red
Variety: Zinfandel, Petite Syrah, Petite Verdot, Merlot
Region: California
Country: USA
Price: $9.95

Winery 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: This was a very nicely balanced wine. There was spice on the nose and in the finish. The fruit really came out in the palate but I didn't detect the oak. I thought it was very nice and very different. 

I did not try this with food.
