Michael Forentino Mezclado Red 2015

Mezclado means to combine or mix together. And without a doubt, the 2015 release of Mezclado is an unusual, non-traditional version of a blend, produced from 67% Grenache, 17% Merlot, 8% Tempranillo, and 8% Mourvedre. While to most the blend may not seem unusual, to a wine geek, we know these grapes rarely all play together in the same bottle, and yet somehow this works very well. The wine is balanced, spicy, soft, layered with flavors, and more importantly, fun to drink. Expect votes of black currant, anise, vanilla, and a touch of cigar box. This wine could be enjoyed alone, or with food, but always best with friends.
