Calcareous 2008 Tres Violet Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Tres Violet
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Calcareous / Paso Robles

This tastes like a hot, simple wine whose berry, cherry and bacon flavors have been acidified, making it strangely unbalanced. It finishes on the sweet, jammy side. Made of roughly equal parts Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache.
