Fetzer Crimson 2010 Red Blend

This deep ruby red blend is by no means a traditional style California blend. Petite Syrah, Syrah, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon make it fruit forward, earthy, funky and smooth all at the same time. Not the mixture of varietals that usually go together but who is to say what goes together? This wine was absolutely amazing and the price point was a selling point itself, $11! Score one for the good guys. 2010 was phenomenal year for California Reds. The right type of precipitation, weather, soil, and root stock made Reds grown in CA remarkable. Fetzer Crimson Red Wine brings to the table dark stone fruits, earth, a hint of smoke, cedar, with a smooth finish. Drink now with friends, by yourself with a significant other, pair it with some good food or on its own, the choice is yours and yours alone! (Totally had to say that) Cheers!
