Four and a Half Trophies
  • Aromas of leather, wood, citrus grove and figs.
  • Flavors are big and bold.
  • Earth, leather and tobacco.
  • Toasted oak and figs.
  • Wild and rambunctious with a purpose… like and old west outlaw who rides into town… shoots up the saloon… steals the women… and rides out of town on a mission.

Sokol-Blosser Meditrina (Oregon, Non-Vintage)

Category: BlendMike @ 1:27 pm
Sokol-Blosser Meditrina This is a blend of Syrah, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel from Sokol-Blosser in Oregon.  This is a very unique blend that we liked quite a bit.  We have usually been impressed with Sokal Blosser wines, and that is how this one made it into our reviewing wine glasses.
$13 from Costco
Four Trophies
  • Smells of cherry, candy apple with a hint of tobacco and cloves
  • Flavors of strawberry and subtle vanilla
  • Smooth and velvety after decanting
  • You meet a girl… she initially seems very girly and feminine… then you get to know her more later, and find that she loves cigars, scotch and is a huge fan of video games.
