Caliza 2012 Sympatico Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Sympatico
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Caliza / Paso Robles

Winemaker Carl Bowker delivers a great-smelling wine on this blend of 64% Tempranillo and 36% Grenache, with aromas of purple fruit, violets and a pepper-crusted bacon. The palate suggests a very flavorful pork roast in plum sauce, showing hoisin, ripe blackberries and grape candy, proving simultaneously playful and elegant.
