Tablas Creek Cotes de Tablas red blend, Paso Robles, California

Blending Rhone grapes in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape style (Grenache, Syrah, Counoise, Mourvedre) makes this a juicy mouthful, with sweet and tangy red fruits, licorice, mint and blood orange layers from nose to finish.  A yummy match for pasta Bolognese.
