Apothic
Dark California Red Blend
California, USA
A milk chocolate Hans Gruber is charming your pants off. Which pants? The purple velvet ones that say 'JUICY' on the butt.

I love this blend. It is the opposite of sweet! not as heavy as a cab but with the full body flavor and dry. Very unique I've never tasted anything quite like it, But than again I don't often get blends. I would highly recommend this especially if you are trying to avoid sweet wines.

Like the Apothic Red blend, it has a nice fruity aroma only this wine is darker in color and has the more desirable dryness than their regular red blend.

As in a sunlamp doesn't get through. The aromas peg the needle on the dark side as well. Blackberry, black currant, black plum and - for variety - blueberry. Flavors are in that same realm, with a dollop of oak spice on top. Apothic Red throws that element in with too heavy a hand for me, so it was a relief to find the oak effect more restrained in the Dark.

When I first saw this bottle I said, "you've got to be kidding me!" Then I bought it and gave it to the girls for Halloween. They liked it. Left me a sip. It was a good easy drink while handing out candies. Definitely a gimmick, but I'm not complaining.
