Red Rock Winery
Winemaker's Blend
I found this wine to be very enjoyable and at a very reasonable price of $11.00. It was a mix of Sirah, Zinfandel, and Merlot. This wine was a deep dark wine with a lot of tannin's and not as much sweetness to the body. The lack of sweetness would make me think that the Sirah wasn't as present compared to the other grapes in the wine. This wine has a fruity berry smell and a smooth finish to the wine when tasting. I enjoyed this wine paired with a chicken and pasta meal which I felt it went very well with it. I look forward to experimenting with more blended wines as this is the first one I can recall trying in my life. I feel that a blended wine could offer a much more exciting wine compared to just one varietal wine. As a California wine I believe that this wine did a very good job encompassing the different grapes into a very nice blend. This is definitely a wine I would recommend to my friends and relatives to try. I like this wine enough that in the near future i will try this wine again, possibly in another vintage and see what differences I taste. I hope by then my pallet will be able to better describe the different smells and tastes to wine.
