Vina Robles 2010 Suendero Red (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Suendero
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Vina Robles / Paso Robles

On this blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Petit Verdot from Adelaida Springs Ranch, iron-laced, gamy scents lead the nose, which also picks up aromas of elderberry and oak smoke. Plums and other purple fruit show on the palate, along with black licorice and strong but well-integrated tannins.
