Tasting - 7 Moons Red Blend

Name: 7 Moons Red Blend
Variety: Syrah, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Grenache
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2017
Price: $10

Winery Review: This red blend begins with loads of ripe, dark fruit aromas that are laced with chocolate and vanilla overtones. The wine tastes smooth, soft and sweet and is filled with tons of jammy, ripe fruit. Those chocolate and vanilla streaks from the nose also continue when tasting and add to the mass appeal and crowd-pleasing properties of the wine. On the finish the tart, jammy, sweet fruit lingers for a good amount of time. This is a great choice for fans of the ever popular mass-market slightly-sweet (and often covered by lots of oak influence) red blend.

My Review:
The nose is dominated by red fruit and red berries. Raspberry and red currant are apparent but the star is blueberry. The first taste was very smooth and fruit forward. Currants are followed by a burst of cherry and lots of blueberry on the palate. There is a slight note of oak. It has a long finish and this wine is very good and a solid choice.
