Tasting Notes (provided on the bottle): Our winemaker masterfully creates a smooth blend where rich layers of dark fruit emerge, complemented by hints of mocha and vanilla. A long, smooth finish opens your night to endless possibilities.
Wine Folly: Because this Apothic Red is a blend of unspecified red varietals, I could not find any specific reference to this type of wine in Wine Folly.
My Review: This 2018 Apothic Red possessed a very strong odor of dark currant and coffee (there was almost a sense of chocolate in its powerful aroma). Unfortunately, I found its taste to be quite dull - there was a significant lack of flavor in this wine, and its medium-body and light astringent component rendered it quite bland. In my wine experiences so far, I have not been a fan of blends - this Apothic Red blend certainly confirmed that observation. I would not recommend this wine to anyone who is really searching for complex, unique flavors.
I did not pair this wine with any food.
