Pulchella 2014 Awakening Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Awakening
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Pulchella / Paso Robles

This blend of 66% Tannat and 34% Petite Sirah by Santa Clarita-based winemakers Steve Lemley and Nate Hasper offers layers of rich flavors without being overdone. Deep aromas of black cherry, boysenberry, mocha and caramel lead into a sip full of blackberry paste, beef char, dried tobacco leather and a cocoa spice. The caramel finish is just delicious.
