title: Vasco Urbano 2012 The Sheriff Red (Livermore Valley)
description: This super-smooth but hearty red blend made from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre smells smoky, meaty and oaky. It tastes savory and a bit peppery before a good dose of ripe, plummy flavor joins in. It feels full-bodied, and almost soft in texture because of light tannins, but has enough acidity to keep an appetizing balance.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: The Sheriff
