Lone Madrone 2010 Points West Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Points West
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Lone Madrone / Paso Robles

A delicious array of aromas leap from this blend of 32% Mourvèdre, 8% Counoise, 20% Grenache and 20% Syrah: black cherry, cola just poured on ice, roasted game, Dr Pepper, black cardamom, roast beef char and sandalwood. The palate is all about peppered pork, with chopped oregano, thyme, rosemary and marjoram keeping it complex.
