Lewinsohn
Garage de Papa Rouge Red Blend
Dark fruit on the nose to match he rich colour - even a hint of flint or pencil lead on the nose. A bit dry - and some healthy tannins. Drinking nicely now but will lay down for at least ten years. Nice fruit giving way to a long finish. L'chaim.

1 person found it helpfulFeb 17th, 2016Mostly Petite Sirah and Carignan. Dark, profound, a touch sweet but not overripe or hot. Tannins still a bit chewy in a savoury way. A real garagiste wine, though very well crafted by the father and son team of Amnon and Ido Lewinsohn. Perhaps even too well made, missing just a slight hint of funk.

Numb on the nose with blackberries, cherries, green peppers, cloves, oak, chocolate, black pepper and cola.
Full bodied and smooth, with medium plus acidity and nice legs.
Bone dry on the palate with cherries, blackberries, cloves, green vegetables, currants, sour strawberries, flat cola, and black pepper.
Sour finish with soft tannins and bitter almonds.
Still young and unbalanced, would need three years to balance itself out.
Nice and smooth, but tart and bitter for my taste. Good quality, though.
14% alcohol by volume.
