Last of the blind reds for this quarter's S&E Wine Club. Theme was Chardonnays for white wine and red wines you can purchase at grocery stores. The fourth and fifth red were higher end and did not stick to the theme.
Deep ruby red. Iron on the attack of the nose, a touch of barnyard, red berries, touch of herbs, spices and green bell peppers. A bit of heat too. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and medium plus body. Rich dark red fruits on the palate with undertones of spices, wood, olives and toasty or smoky. Dry and long finish. Drink till 2027.
Made up of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Shiraz. (92+)
