Abacela NV Vintner’s Blend #12 Red (Southern Oregon)

Country: US / Vintner’s Blend #12
Variety: Red Blend Oregon
Winery: Abacela / Southern Oregon

This blend of Tempranillo, Malbec, Dolcetto, Merlot and Syrah could have turned into a generic red, yet it is seamless and nicely proportioned. It’s a real crowd-pleaser, with a ripe red-fruit flavor and generous new-barrel-derived toast and spice notes.
