Quadrant 2010 Copper Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Copper
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Quadrant / Paso Robles

Spiced plums and purple flowers such as violet make for an appealing aromatic profile on this well-priced wine, a blend of 57% Syrah, 23% Petite Sirah, 17% Grenache and 3% Viognier. The palate is soft with flavors of ginger and red currant, tasting elegant though not exactly restrained. The strong tannins could use until 2016 to mellow out properly.
