Rotta 2013 SBR Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / SBR
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Rotta / Paso Robles

Shy at first aromatically, this wine slowly reveals blueberry candy, hoisin sauce, dried plums and pencil shavings on the nose. The palate is thick and lush, with lots of slate-driven structure and ample black-plum fruit spiced up with charred tobacco and singed wood.
