Indigené 2009 Philanthropist Red (Carmel Valley)

Country: US / Philanthropist
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Indigené / Carmel Valley

Cherry cola and cardamom scents start the experience with this blend. A boost of Petite Sirah contributes licorice flavor to the midpalate, and a chocolate cake with mocha frosting flavor to the finish. There’s ample grip to the strong tannins, so even though it’s already five years old, it will continue to smooth through 2016.
