Kitchen Sink Red Reserve



Name: Kitchen Sink Red Reserve
Variety: Other reds
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: N/A
Price: $12.99

Winery review: A luscious blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, Merlot, and Petit Sirah with aromas of blueberry, pomegranate, and a hint of mocha. Plum, blackberry and cassis follow into mid palate. Slight acidity into the finish with fruit notes that carry through to the end.

My review:  I don’t have very much experience with red wines, but I've tasted better. This wine smelled like berries and alcohol. I did not feel any strong flavors in the mid palate so I think it lacked body. I definitely tasted the tannic aspect of it; it gave my mouth a puckering feeling. Also, at the end I could taste the alcohol. I did not pair this wine with food, but I think it would have tasted much better if I did.
