Rotie Cellars Southern Red 2013

The flavor of wine red raspberry, currant, and anise dominate the nose. On the palate fresh red fruits integrate seamlessly with black licorice and tobacco and that wine finishes with long, refined tannins.

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate     Sean's Grenache dominated cuvee, the 2013 Southern Blend checks in as a mix of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre that was aged 14-16 months in 2nd and 3rd-fill barrels. It's ruby/semi-opaque color is followed by lively, complex bouquet of kirsch, blackberries, dried herbs and pepper. Savory, medium to full-bodied, supple and beautifully made, it's already complex and approachable, yet will evolve nicely through 2023.
