Mysterious Red Blend, Apothic Wine

I have to admit, I am completely surprised by Apothic Red. I found myself in a never before visited wine store in Towson, MD. This place (from the outside) looked like a corner liquor store. I didn't expect the wine experience that was ahead of me. Lesson learned, don't judge a book by its cover. The sales man was so knowledgeable about his wines. The vino he selected for me was a red blend. My first question to him was, "how sweet is this wine"? Most wine blends are just that.... a blend of grapes intended to compliment each other or... hide the original flavor of a particular grape. As you can tell, I am not necessarily a fan of blends. I am very passionate about wine grapes and I enjoy the original taste of them. With all this said, I'll contradict myself by going back to my first sentence, I am completely surprised by Apothic Red. I ended up purchasing the blend due to the fact that it contained most of my favorite grapes, Zinfandel, Syrah,Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. The mixture of these grapes created a fabulous taste. This wine has medium tannins, and a beautiful purplish color tune. All combined to create an essence of black cherry, ripe raspberries, and plum. I was so impressed by Apothic Red that I visited their website. The site equally impressed me. It is a pleasure to share my experience of great wine finds with you.
