Clos Solène 2013 Harmonie Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Harmonie
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Clos Solène / Paso Robles

Thick aromas range from blueberry and other dense black fruits to fudge, concentrated purple flowers and nose-tickling baking spice. The palate on this blend of 62% Grenache, 28% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre is rich and luxurious, with more blueberries, tarragon, chocolate ganache, black-loam minerality and a Sichuan pepper element that makes the tongue tingle.
