Obsidian Ridge 2012 Half Mile 2640′ Red (Red Hills Lake County)

Country: US / California
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: Obsidian Ridge / Half Mile 2640′

This big, dramatic wine has a dark color and bold aromas of wood smoke and black pepper. Flavors are concentrated but also dry and appetizing. Firm tannins add grip and seem to help the peppery, smoky accents linger on the finish. Best after 2020.
