Ray’s Station Vineyards 2012 Coro Mendocino Red (Mendocino)

Country: US / Coro Mendocino
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Ray’s Station Vineyards / Mendocino

Ripe fruit flavors and a delicious spiciness combine to make this full-bodied but not very tannic wine easy to love. It smells like cherries and raspberries, tastes full but not sweet, and has a texture that spreads and softens on the palate like melting chocolate. It’s made with 50% Zinfandel and almost equal parts Syrah, Carignane and Petite Sirah.
