Vinum 2014 Wanted: Red Dirt Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Wanted: Red Dirt
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Vinum / Paso Robles

The aromas and flavors in this blend of 55% Syrah, 24% Grenache and 21% Mourvèdre perfectly match its Wild West-inspired label: they’re unabashedly smoky and pair with anything off the grill. Smoky strawberry, red plum and tanned leather notes lead to an easygoing palate of red fruit that’s spiced with white pepper, roasting herbs and barbecued meat.
