Happy Canyon Vineyard 2010 Piocho Red (Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara)

Country: US / California
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Happy Canyon Vineyard / Piocho

Easy to drink this blend of all five classic Bordeaux varieties, with Merlot predominating. It’s all about cherries, blackberries, plum jam, currants and chocolate. Not particularly subtle or ageworthy, but very pretty.
