Fun blend of Grenache Mourvèdre Petite Sirah Merlot and Malbec. First day seemed to be dominated by the Perite Sirah but by day 2 it was smooth silky and loaded with layers of fruit flavors and spices and a touch of medium-dark chocolate with a long smoky finish. Think of a box of the old time Christmas chocolate covered cherries with a cream filling your grandmother had - but with a nice alcohol punch - or maybe a young port - and that’s what this is.

If you like a fruit forward somewhat sweet red with lots layers this is for you. Cherry/watermelon with cinnamon on the nose. Mouthwatering with cherry/strawberry/watermelon/mild tangelo and cinnamon/pepper with a tingle. Slight leather and oak in a moderately long finish. Could almost pass as a less dense dessert wine.

Monte De Oro Unique Elements (squared) blend. Tastes of current, boysenberry, blueberry, and a hint of tobacco making a silky sweet finish.

Wonderful wine. Deep and complex without being overpowering. Unique notes that hit the whole palette.

A good blend. Took a bit to open up. Very forward with an almost white wine like finish. A good wine with dinner
