Blend 6 Troublemaker Red Rhone Blend

Big at first but nice after some time. Will decant next time. It’s worth trying again

Heavy overtly hammy fruit almost to the point of overwhelming, the zin based wine blended with powerful Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah is meant for the spicy dish or a very strong cheese. It has a nice acid balance but few detectable tannins... unsure if a nice decanting could help... wondering if aging could help to help the fruit to be less powerful and allow tannic structure to be revealed...

First sip is amazing. And every sip after that is better.

Quite the complex red bled! Had fun trying to pick all the grapes involved. Smokey, fruit forward, on the dry side, medium acidity.

Very nice, well balanced wine, blend of red zin and petite Syrah grapes. Medium body, with medium tannins, smooth finish. Has a nice crisp peppery taste that’s not overbearing and still allows the blueberry fruit to come out. Some oak, medium acid.

Very smooth a little on the sweeter side for a red blend

Fruity flavorful but not very bold

Dried plum. Vanilla. Deep fruitiness. Dark cherry.

Too much fruit. Formaldehyde overtones. Yuck! Especially for $16 a bottle. Ouch.

Hope Family Vineyards. For Christmas. Berries. Lighter - like a Pinot.
