Wednesday, August 24, 2022 - [Tasted double blind at Kevin's]
I immediately thought Bordeaux blend, but not from Bordeaux. Tasted more green to me, thus either a higher Cabernet Franc blend (pyrazines) or from South America. I didn't think it fit California so went with Chilean/Argentina.
Med+/pronounced intensity, red and black fruit, plums, cherry, cassis, bell pepper, tomato leaf, oak, leather. I thought the herbaceous notes were fairly apparent, but not in a bad way. Very smooth tannins, med tannins, long finish, full body. Ended up pairing it with enchiladas, worked quite well. 93 pts
