AuburnJames 2012 Speedster Red (North Coast)

Country: US / Speedster
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: AuburnJames / North Coast

This brawny, dry wine has oak, tannin and body in big portions, its dark color leading to cut wood aromas, tart black cherry and blackberry flavors and a firm, somewhat drying texture. It needs rich food as a pairing or more time in the bottle to mellow.
