Wine Tasting:

DOUBLE TROUBLE

This bottle got recommended to me by the sommelier at Kroger after I asked him for a good full bodied red wine at a $10 price point and it did not disappoint! It is a 2019 Red Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from Charles & Charles winery in Washington State. 

What Others Said:

"An awesome value! Ripe and bold, without becoming a fruit bomb, this has heaps of black plum and red cherry flavors. There are also some nice smoky, bacon-like notes, which make it a great wine to have with grilled steaks or burgers" - Joe P from Arlington Wine

What I Thought:

Did not disappoint. Smelled fruity and rich. Very heavy notes of red fruit and slightly chocolatey. Second taste I got some pepper at the end, probably from the Syrah in the blend. Wine Folly says that Washington Cabernet Sauvignon are "noted for their rich raspberry and black cherry" and the Syrahs from the state "are smoky, rich and tart" at the same time. Concur!
