| Bottle of Pietra Santa Sacred Stone Red |
Sacred Stone Red
Blend: Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah
California, USA
10.00 USD
Dark ruby in color, with warm, plummy aromas, a hint of raisins and a dash of spice; floral and peppery notes on the nose carry over to the palate with a burst of fragrant pepper and bright red fruit. Full bodied, tart and somewhat tannic, with an intriguing minerality lurking behind the forward fruit and peppery spice. Powerful alcohol (14.8%) leaves a distinct warmth in the finish. Made by a California producer and bearing no regional appellation or vintage, it's described as a "Rhone-style blend," with Syrah, Carignan, Grenache and the less characteristically Rhonish Sangiovese and Zinfandel (wineloverspage.com)
This was a very bold and full bodied wine. With lots of tannic structure mixing well with the earthy nose and red fruit. It was not very sweet but had a lot of red fruit components to it and although it wasn't overly kick you in the mouth dry, towards the finish it certainly dried out a lot more for me.
