Tasting - Apothic Brew


Name: Apothic Brew
Variety: 55% Petite Sirah, 10% Teroldego, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Zinfandel, 19% red grapes
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: NV
Price: $12

Winery Review: Inspired by a passion for coffee, our winemaker has crafted an infusion like never before. Blended with intrigue, this limited release red blend is infused with cold brew coffee. Apothic Brew contains less caffeine than a standard cup of decaf.

My Review:
Strong red fruit notes stir the nose followed by chocolate and mocha. Slightest hint of espresso then licorice. The taste is very bold and complex. I get hit with oak straight away mingled with dark fruit and dark chocolate. It is slightly bitter which must be the coffee coming through although it is subtle. It has a long finish and is fairly enjoyable. I would like to try it slightly chilled to see how the taste evolves. I would get it again.
