title: Tessa Marie 2007 Coquette Sangiovese-Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
description: An offbeat blend of Sangiovese and Syrah, and quite a good wine, at that. It's dry, medium- to full-bodied and tannic, with complex flavors of cherries, leather, tobacco, Dr. Pepper cola and peppery spices. It is high in alcohol, but wears the heat well.
variety: Sangiovese-Syrah
designation: Coquette
