Calcareous 2013 Tres Violet Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Tres Violet
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Calcareous / Paso Robles

Thick black cherry, vanilla, licorice and kirsch aromas show on the nose of this blend of 40% Syrah, 34% Grenache and 26% Mourvèdre. The palate is also rich and juicy, with black currant, nutmeg and caramel-laced cappuccino flavors, bolstered by bright acidity.
