Shop: Vintage Cellar (Amanda). "This semi-opaque ruby, custom cuvee of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre is made specifically for Fran Kysela. It exhibits very fresh, ripe dark red fruit with very good palate and weight and depth and ends with rich fruit notes. Made from organically grown grapes.
Critique: I found this red wine to be…..TERRIBLE. This was by far the worst red wine I've ever had (given it is a small sample size). It was bitter, dry, powerful, oak-like, and dry. It had a large amount of tannins because it dried out my mouth almost immediately after swallowing. It had a smooth texture and a rich taste but this wine most definitely was not for me.
