San Antonio 2010 Heritage Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Heritage
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: San Antonio / Paso Robles

This blend of 45% Petite Sirah, 40% Syrah, 10% Grenache and 5% Mourvèdre releases aromatic licorice and rich black cherry on the nose. The tannins are quite mouth-drying right now, but flavors of tobacco, espresso, coffee grind, cedar, cigar and pencil lead give spicy, earthy depth to the blueberry fruit.
