Trenza 2008 Tinto Red (San Luis Obispo County)

Country: US / Tinto
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Trenza / San Luis Obispo County

This unusual blend of Syrah, Grenache, Tempranillo and Mourvèdre is the kind of red wine that needs spicy, salty beef or lamb to balance it. It’s tannic, acidic and peppery, with a roasted meat edge to the blackberry fruit. Calls to mind Italian-style fare, rich in olive oil and cheeses.
