Obsession
California Red Blend
California, USA
This Ironstone Vineyards wine is mainly Merlot and Zinfandel, with a splash of Petite Sirah. The nose gives off a blast of smoke which layers over dark fruit, such as plums and blueberries, and spices. Most of the spice apparently comes courtesy of the grapes, since only three months of oak aging was employed. The palate suggests more oak, with plentiful spice to join the bold fruit. It's a bit of a belligerent wine, with the tannic structure to handle a juicy ribeye steak.

Inoffensive red blend. Merlot presence is the most apparent. Fair effort but nothing that stands out.

Merlot? Petite syrah? Dank sauce. Excellent $10 for a Tuesday night
