Wine Review: This hazy dark ruby colored Merlot and Petite Sirah based blend from Once and Future is a great value. It opens with a black cherry and anise bouquet with hints of triple sec, blueberry, limestone, and old leather. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, juicy, and fresh. The flavor profile is black cherry and stone dust blend with notes of cedar and red plum. We also detected hints of black pepper, orange zest, and boysenberry. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and moderate dusty tannins stick around for a bit. We would pair this impressive red blend with marinated steak tips off the grill. Enjoy - KWGTP
