Twinkle California Red Blend

Fresh and fun.

First taste of this interesting blend of Mourvèdre and Grenache. Lighter in color and very lively texture after a blast of red fruits. Great with both hot pot and ribs. 12.8ABV, # 3353 of 4534.

On 2/9/18 at J.C. Holdway for Valentine’s Day, sitting next To said Etazadi enjoying a date. This cloudy mysterious red does not disappoint. Slightly dry, fruity and balanced well.

Opens up, earthy, high acid, swish it.

Served at cellar temp. Fresh/bright red fruit, orange peoke tea in a cigar box and a light touch of barnyard on the nose. Cranberry, mulling spices with great depth on the palate. End with a nice long finish that is has high acid notes balanced with structured tannins. I really like this wine with a simple meal.

Perfect with a slight chill

I've been digging the natural wines recently. This one: tart, muscatel grape seeds and skins. It pretends like it's going to finish dry, then boomerangs you with gentle fruit.
