Dilecta 2014 Cookie Red (Central Coast)

Country: US / Cookie
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Dilecta / Central Coast

Aromas of vanilla-flecked and butter-laced pastry filled with cassis sauce show on the nose of this rich blend of 62% Syrah and 38% Mourvèdre from the Bien Nacido and Jada vineyards. The sip is very well structured by upright sticky tannins, which hold up flavors of crushed gravel and slate and a piquant boysenberry jam.
