Winery review: "Rare Red is a blend of four varietals from select California wine growing districts: Sangiovese - Merlot - Zinfandel and Primitivo. The attributes of the four varietals all contribute to the excellence of this robust blend. Merlot provides intense character and structure. Zinfandel and Primitivo add body, depth, color and raspberry-blackberry aromas. Sangiovese mitigates the other more tannic components with softness and bright fruit flavors. All constituents harmonize with each other and create increased synergistic complexity. This rare wine is medium bodied and fragrant with instantly appealing, fruit forward characteristics." - lawineco.com
My review: Aromas of cherry, and dark berries like blueberry and raspberry came to the nose. Hints of pencil shavings, and brown spice were also present. On the palate flavors of cherries and brown spice were present. A pretty good wine.
This wine was tasted with no food.
