Taken Wine Co. 2013 Complicated Red (Central Coast)

Country: US / Complicated
Variety: Red Blend California
Winery: Taken Wine Co. / Central Coast

Black cherries, cola, fennel and dill come together for a thick aromatic profile on this blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignane. Pencil lead, blackberry preserves and black pepper show on the palate, which is rich but not particularly fruity, thanks to beef char and woody flavors.
