Kimmel 2012 Redessence Red Blend (California)

Kimmel Redessence was a highly anticipated red blend. If you are a red wine lover, especially red blend this is a must try! The wine is 85% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, 2% Petite Verdot

In appearance, the Kimmel Redessence is a dark onyx garnet purple color in the glass. Little light shown through the wine.  The wine was quite leggy with lots of slow moving, skinny legs inside the glass.

The wine opens with a fragrant burst of blackberry and red currant bouquet with just a hint of anise. On the palate, this wine is a fruit forward bomb. The flavor of blackberry, spiced cherry, ripe blueberry coat your palate with a savory port like finish, a medium bodied, very nicely balanced, and smooth red blend.

This is a red wine that any red wine lover would really enjoy, great served with a meal or simply all on it's own.
