Iconic Wines Testa Vineyard Red Blend 2017 Review
This wine is lean and mean, in a good way. The wine is Californian, but it drinks like it's mediterranean. Bright acidity and punchy fruit dance around while being kept in check by distinct drying tannins. This is a great food wine. The edgy side of this bottle calls for a lean skirt steak or a big ol’ juicy tavern-style burger.
