Hi All. I hope you have had a great weekend and survived whatever weather you encountered. I think this particular wine is fitting given it is made up of four different grapes. This represents the four different weather patterns you might see in a given day in Texas. The 2013 Ferrari-Carano Siena Sonoma County Red Wine was a suggestion from my friend, Stayce. It is a blend of Sangiovese, Malbec, Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The label states you will encounter hints of cherry and cola. I did taste the cherry and, yes, a slight hint of cola. I even caught an essence of spice – maybe cinnamon or nutmeg. I liked this wine because the cherry wasn’t too fruitful. I know I might have thrown you off with the cola reference, but it is very faint and blends nicely. Think Slurpee, only better and with antioxidants. I don’t know that it would stand up very well to steak or a heartier meal, but is just a good red drinking wine. You can find it at most grocery stores for around $19 to $20 per bottle. Enjoy your week!
