Country: US / The League of Shadows Clare Ranch Vineyards
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Rendarrio Vineyards / Paso Robles
This blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon offers lots of thyme and oregano on the savory nose as well as black plum, mocha dust and graphite. The palate is rather light bodied, with dried herbs and the slightest hint of green pepper, all set against richer black fruit and pencil shavings.
