Wine Review: This clear and medium ruby colored Mourvedre and Syrah based blend from Cantadora opens with a blueberry and vanilla bouquet with hints of stone dust, plum, and cedar. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and shows a bit of density. The flavor profile is a cherry and boysenberry blend with notes of Madagascar vanilla. We also detected hints of blueberry, Chinese five spice, and touch of licorice. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and mild tannins drift away nicely. We would pair this very good red blend with smoked beef brisket. Enjoy - KWGTP
