Falkner 2011 Amante Red (Temecula Valley)

Country: US / Amante
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Falkner / Temecula Valley

Perhaps Temecula’s future is in Super Tuscans. This balanced blend of 50% Sangiovese, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc offers a complex nose of cranberry, pomegranate, pencil lead and chocolate sauce. Flavors of hot brick, white pepper, raspberry and stewed mushrooms rock the palate.
