The original posting of this bottle was slightly more than a year ago on my food blog, Kate in the Kitchen. Nikki from the Nutz introduced me to this at her house one chilly Fall evening and I promptly bought three bottles, one of which I shared with other wine lovers right away. The other two have hung out happily in the basement ever since, and I think have improved over time.
This is a blend of Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The initial flavor on the tongue was one of deep rich black cherry, sweet and lush. The merlot mellows it out and the cab offers up its tannins to give the wine a nice body without being too overpowering. Syrah gives it some depth and a sense of earthiness. It’s a dark inky reddish purple with just a hint of oak on the finish and a superb wine for a cool evening. It would pair well with meats and a dry aged cheese such as Manchego. It also matches perfectly with chocolate!!!
I think the price point is in the $20-25 range but don’t quote me. Nikki sold it to me wholesale last year.
Quick Note too- Byerlys is having a Wine Sale starting November 6th and going until the 22nd. All bottles, all varieties are buy one, get one half off. Check your local Byerlys for more details. The time to buy is now!!
