Prospect 772 2009 The Brat Red (Calaveras County)

Country: US / The Brat
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Prospect 772 / Calaveras County

An incredibly concentrated, silky blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Nothing shy about this wine, inspired as it is by the great Chateauneuf-du-Papes and yet undoubtedly Californian. Make that mountain Californian. With baked cherry fruit and baking spices throughout and serious grip and weight, this is one heady and delicious wine.
