Winery Review: An alluring blend of Petite Sirah and Pinot Noir. This limited release red wine blends red fruit flavors with notes of caramel and chocolate for a luscious yet velvety, smooth wine experience.

My Review: WOW! If I didn't like red before then I for sure will not after having this wine. I have dabbled in the original Apothic Red blend, that I blogged about, so I attempted to try this one. This one is beyond drying and the aroma, taste on my palette and smell was not inviting. The aroma was potent and I didn't smell anything but straight alcohol. The taste on my palette was a hint of chocolate, but burned chocolate. This wine did not go down smooth and tasted worse with ice. Overall, I am not a fan of this wine blend.

Food: I did not have this wine with food.
