Inspired by the bold brilliance of traditional Bordeaux blends, the Cataclysm Red Blend puts a little chaos in the mix with robust Syrah and Petite Sirah. The nose is brooding with aromas of stewed fruit, bramble, black currant and mocha. Bright cherry and raspberry envelop the palate with hints of spice. This is a deeply structured blend with a velvety mouthfeel that lingers with tar and licorice.
29% Merlot, 28% Syrah, 26% Malbec, 11% Petite Sirah, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine Enthusiast Review (Best Buy):
This medium-bodied blend of mostly Merlot, Syrah and Malbec is balanced and pleasing. Ample tannins back copious amounts of raspberries and peaches, along with aromas and flavors of sweet pea flowers, black tea and vanilla. - M.A.
