Tasting: Rare Red

Wine: Rare Red
Variety: Zindandel, Petite Syrah, Petite Verdot, Merlot
Region: California
Year: Unknown
Price: $9.95

Critic Review: A multi-vintage blend of Zinfandel, Petite Verdot, Petite Syrah, and Merlot that is full-bodied and fruit forward with a spicy and complex finish. This wine has been partially barrel aged for eight months in American and French oak.

My Review: I was not a fan of this wine. The nose on it had a heat to it, and I got a licorice scent. The taste was surprisingly spicy, and it left my mouth feeling very raw. This wine was not my cup of tea, but for those who enjoy heat in their wine, this would be one for them.

Overall, I did not like this wine.
