Wine Review: This kitchen sink red blend is made mostly from Syrah. It is opaque and dark purple colored and opens with a plum and black raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and fruity. The flavor profile is black raspberry and plum blend with hints of old oak, spice and black pepper. The finish is dry and its tingly acidity and mild tannins stick around for quite a while. This good value wine is a nice everyday red that would pair perfectly with your favorite slice of pizza. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Lot 339 combines Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre for a tasty California spin on these famous Rhone varietals. It is fresh with delineated black fruits, peppers, cherries and red plum notes. Integrated tannins frame a chewy finish meshed with exotic spice notes. This wine is the best of the old-world and the new, the classic and the updated…Purity of essence if you will.
