The Withers Winery 2013 Ruben Red (El Dorado)

Country: US / Ruben
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: The Withers Winery / El Dorado

This is a well-balanced, handsomely composed wine that is big in flavor and full in body. The aromas are spicy like black pepper and cardamom, the flavors are meaty, peppery, smoky and berry-like, for a great taste experience that goes way beyond the usual. It’s made mostly from Mourvèdre grapes, with Syrah and Grenache in supporting roles.
