Longoria 2007 Evidence Red (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / Evidence
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Longoria / Santa Barbara County

Pinot maestro Longoria continues to try his hand at Bordeaux blends despite the uphill challenge. This ’07 is a Cab Franc-based bottling. It’s uneven, with cherry pie filling flavors, edgy tannins and unintegrated sweet, caramelized oak. There’s even a bit of heat from high alcohol. Ready now.
