Rain Cloud "Red Wine" California 2020

 


Dark purple pour with nice "fruit bomby" aromas of deep rich dark berry fruit, enticing blackberry and ripe plum. 

Palate--Nice first impression made  for the popular palate, with big flavors if blueberry pie, dark chocolate, blackberry jam, rich textured structure that finishes with a lasting super fruity finish. 

I am guessing this sourced California red wine is a blend of Zinfandel and Syrah or Petite Sirah, and maybe Petite Verdot.  After checking: Turns out to be Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah. Not a bad ID since the Cab. Sauv. is eclipsed by the fruity Shiraz/Syrah, and Zinfandel. And I do not know the percentages of each in the blend.

This will suit the popular-palate wine lovers who enjoy a fruit bomb as I do on the right occasion which it is; celebrating Spring in Maine with charcoal grilled BBQ Chicken.  At $10, raise a glass!
