Philo Ridge 2010 Coro Mendocino Red (Mendocino)

Country: US / Coro Mendocino
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Philo Ridge / Mendocino

Comprised of 50% Zinfandel, 30% Syrah and 20% Petite Sirah. The Coro winemakers appear to have liked these three varieties together in 2010 and it works okay here. The Syrah imparts savory leather tones to the otherwise ripe, black fruit and softened tannins.
