My Review: This wine is a deep crimson red mixed with purple color and has medium legs. The different aromas that I get when smelling this wine are blackberry, strawberry, pepper, and a hint of raisin. This is a very thick wine that tastes as it smells, has medium tannins, but has a rubbery texture and aftertaste that I am not a fan of. Otherwise this is a smooth wine that is very sweet.
Winery Review: In 2012, Apothic Red was crafted from a blend of primarily Zinfandel, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. These varieties come together seamlessly for a fruit-driven wine with fresh dark fruit flavors and jammy red fruit notes. The Zinfandel offers bold dark fruit flavors and spicy notes, complemented by the soft mouthfeel of Merlot. The Syrah adds layers of smooth blueberry, while the Cabernet Sauvignon delivers ripe fruit flavors and a firm structure. This decadent blend is framed by hints of oak, vanilla, and mocha.
