Artisans of the Wine County 2016 “Vinho Tinto” Red Blend
Review by: Jason Barlow
Grape(s): 35% Tempranillo, 25% Alicante Bouschet, 20%Tinta Amarella, 15% Tinta Caio, & 5% Souzao
Region: California
Price: $30
Tasting Notes: Aromas of dark cherries, blueberries, and blackberries mingle among nuances of spice, toasty oak, and chocolate on the nose. Flavors of black cherry, blueberry, and raspberry unfold into undertones of smoky oak, spice, and dark chocolate. Supple tannins and welcoming fruit make this a lovely, approachable wine.
