A young wine which benefits from a bit of decanting, this blend tastes like it may be Syrah and some Bordeaux varietal, Merlot at a guess. It has dark cherries and the Syrah's tingly acidity, leading into a nice long coffee and mushroom tinged finish. You should probably let this one lay down for 6-12 months but not longer due to the screw cap 😸

It's a good everyday dinner wine, young, new, more interesting than your normal average wine in the store though, for sure.
