Archium 2011 Dissident Red (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Dissident
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Archium / Santa Ynez Valley

This is a well-made blend of Syrah and Grenache. On the palate, rich cherry flavor is accented with hints of mocha, prosciutto and rose petal. It finishes dry despite the ripe fruitiness with a streak of tart acidity.
