Wild Hogge 2010 Moongate Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Moongate
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Wild Hogge / Paso Robles

It’s too bad that this blend of 75% Zinfandel, 12% Cabernet Franc and 13% Syrah is only found in Bermuda. Elderberry, tobacco and blueberry-stuffed chocolate power the dense nose, yet the palate shows a fresh lightness, with mint and menthol lifting the cherry juice and tannic grip that structures the sip.
