Tinto Rey ‘Super Tinto’ Red Blend 2015 Review

This Iberian-inspired California wine is dark and palate-coating, but also balanced and lively. Aromas include blackberries, cigar box, and black olives. The Petit Verdot in the blend stands out and gives the wine a slightly wild character. The texture is smooth and lively. This is a solid choice for fans of lush, fruit-forward but savory wines.
