Bodega de Edgar 2014 E2 Red (Ballard Canyon)

Country: US / California
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
Winery: Bodega de Edgar / E2

A blend of the favorite grapes of winemaker Edgar Torres (60% Grenache) and his wife, Erika (40% Syrah) from Kimsey Vineyard, this bottling shows bright and elegant aromas of boysenberry and elderberry with olive, wet river stone and pine forest. The chalky tannins still need time to evolve, but the black pepper, dark fruit, incense and myrrh flavors are well balanced.
