Château La Paws Red Wine Blend
California, USA
Château La Paws Sweet Red Blend does not set my tail wagging. The nose, although quite earthy, is also quite grapey - much like a wine made from North American hybrid grapes. The grapes used are actually Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah, Petit Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and "other."
The nose is very close to being what one might call "foxy." The palate offers a similar reference to Welches, and a similar foxiness. The label advises we not feed it dogs - too bad, as they would probably appreciate it more than humans. French and American oak are used in the aging of the wine, and that sweet vanilla oak note could be the best part of the beverage.

Easy drinkable red blend. Nothing super memorable about this one, but it's not bad and it supports a good cause

Better than I expected it to be! Jammy, dark fruits, licorice notes, nice blend.

Dark cherry, strawberry jam nose, cassis. A nice well balanced fruit flavor but not long lasting. Very tasteful but forgetfull.

Bright, subtle aromas, with a touch of berries. Very smooth, buttery flavors, like a blueberry/blackberry pie. Clean mouthfeel. A bit of a smokey aftertaste.
