Tommy’s Wine Journal

I’m pretty sure this wine isn’t vintage dated or at least I couldn’t see a vintage on the label. I think the wine is produced with Syrah, Zin, and Petite Sirah but I don’t know the exact breakdown in terms of percentage.

On the nose I get aromas of black raspberry, cherry, hi-c fruit punch, and grape skittles candy. The wine very fruit driven and a bit candy-esc. On the palate the raspberry and cherry flavors continue to impress but there is a bunch of bitter tannin that touch down on the approach to the mid-palate. I’m not sure if this was an issue with the ripeness of the grapes, or the over extraction of the fruit, but the wine is pretty bitter.

It’s a semi-inexpensive wine so it doesn’t need to be over analyzed, however I think for the same price one might find a better option from Italy or Spain.
