title: Lorenzi Estate 2012 The Obsessive Red (Temecula Valley)
description: Plump blackberries, grapeseed, pencil lead and a touch of smoke converge on this blend of Syrah, Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The flavors are woody, with cedar, tart elderberry and pencil lead, while the structure is chalky and tannic. It's a heavy-duty sip, with beef char lingering into the cooked-fruit finish.
variety: Red Blend
