Holly’s Hill 2013 Patriarche Red (El Dorado)

Country: US / California
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Holly’s Hill / Patriarche

This wine makes a big impression with wild, earthy aromas and dense, fruit-laden flavors. It blends ripe plum, smoke, tart blackberry and rich black cherry notes on a base of firm tannins and fresh acidity. These are rich, complex and carry through to the lingering finish. It’s made from 85% Mourvèdre, plus Syrah, Grenache and Counoise.
