Jorian Hill 2007 Beespoke Red (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Beespoke
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Jorian Hill / Santa Ynez Valley

There’s so much raspberry, cherry, cola, clove, cinnamon and pepper flavor in this wine, it’s hard to know where to begin. It’s also dry, with smoky, vanilla oak notes. Yet it lacks the vital structure a good Rhône blend wants in order to house all this richness. Drink now. Grenache-Syrah.
