Obvious Wines N 01 Dark & Bold Red Blend 2016 Review
This wine is a straight up forager’s basket, with pungent notes of fig and cinnamon along with ripe blackberries, clove and cracked black pepper. The alcohol does separate a bit from the aromas, taking center stage for a minute before allowing some sandalwood, pine and plum to emerge. For under $20 this a great intro to the heady reds of Cali.
