Sunstone 2006 Rapsodie Du Soleil Red (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / Rapsodie Du Soleil
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Sunstone / Santa Barbara County

Very dry, very tannic and austere, this southern Rhône-style blend isn’t offering much now beyond the astringency. Airing coaxes out some modest cherry, Dr. Pepper cola and leather flavors, but it will always remain a tough, harsh wine.
