Santa Ynez Red Blend
Santa Ynez Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
Blend of 56% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec, deep Ruby with aromas of tart fruit and cedar notes. On the palate flavors of very tart raspberry and tart cherry with earthy herb mushroom notes. Tart firm tannins, short finish ending with harsh tart fruit and earthy herbs. Disappointing.
