Shannon Ridge Wrangler Red Lake County 2020

Dark garnet hue with aromas of juicy fresh rd berry, pipe tobacco, and gentle spice.

Palate--sophisticated first impression with bold fruit profile and numerous iterations of red berry and some black berry as well.  Finishes with a lod of savory spice once it opens, and lingers for a good bit.

Shannon Ridge in my limited experience with their wines has a nice blend of structured wines and a talent of blending all sorts of grapes.  This is a melange of Syrah, Zinfandel, Merlot, Malbec and Petite Sirah. It tends toward a slightly confused presentation but is never-the-less tasty.  Listed at $20, I found this for $9. 

Having it with our Sunday night pizza and it will be perfect so raise a glass at the $10 price point.
