Tasting - Fetzer Valley Oaks

Name:  Fetzer Valley Oaks
Variety:  Zinfandel, Petite Syrah, Syrah
Region:  California
Country:  United States
Year:  2010
Price:  $25.00

Winery review: Peppery, coffee, prune, black berry, liquorice aromas. Fresh, juicy, easy palate with chocolate, liquorice, cedar, bark, peppery, black cherry flavours with a bit of juicy sweetness on the finish. Clean, easy consumer style.  86/100 AG-ST

My review:   On the nose, this red blend was prune and berry-like, with hints of pepper and coffee in the background. Licorice does come to mind as per the winery review. On the palate, I got some black cherry with hints of wood and pepper; sweet and juicy.

Food:  Did not have with food
