Refugio Ranch 2012 Red (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
Winery: Refugio Ranch /

There’s a slightly reductive barnyard funk on the nose of this blend of 53% Syrah, 34% Grenache and 13% Petite Sirah, as well as damp morel mushrooms and concentrated blackberries. It’s tarry on the palate, with more blackberries in a slightly burned balsamic-reduction sauce.
