Dominican Oaks Intarsia


Name: Dominican Oaks Intarsia
Variety: Other Reds
Region: Napa Valley, California
Country: United States
Year: 2008
Price: $19.99

Winery review: One immediately notices the deep rich color of this intriguing blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Zinfandel. With intense aromas of black and red berries shaded by hints of spice on the palate, Intarsia is well-balances with a long velvety finish.

My review: This wine felt lighter bodied than other reds. It smelled fruity and the color was an amazing violet. The taste wasn’t very tannic until the end. I could taste some sweetness in the mid palate but it was gone by the end; kind of disappointing. I still found this blend more interesting than having just one type of grape. I did not try this wine with food.
