Chateau/Producer: | Atrea | Wine Name: | Old Soul Red | Country: | USA | State: | California | AOC: | Mendocino | Region: | Mendocino | Wine Score: | 80 | Notes: | The color is garnet red; the nose is very peppery, with a hint of pencil shavings. The wine is very powerful and dry, probably better with food. It's quite peppery, with noticeable tannins; the finish is not pleasant. The wine is a bit bitter, emphasized by a rather high level of acidity. With the right food, this might be nice, but for drinking alone it's not a favorite. | Tasting Date: | 2005-12-23 | Varietal: | Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite sirah, Malbec | Price US$: | 24.00 |
