Legendre 2012 Arrastre Red (Amador County)

Country: US / Arrastre
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Legendre / Amador County

This blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Petite Sirah grapes is so packed with flavors that they seem to stumble over each other at first. It leads with a definitely earthy aroma that fades, but then the flavors come out—effusive, chocolaty, almost sweet and definitely ripe. It is full bodied and rich in texture.
