Tasting - "Clos du Bois Rouge Red Blend"

Name: Clos du Bois Rouge Red Blend
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Sirah, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Charbono
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $9.99

Winery review: "Sumptuous and velvety, made in a sweeter style, and expressing aromas and flavors of red currant, blackberry and plum balanced with chocolate, vanilla and spice.  A crowd-pleaser, perfect for your house red or as a dinner party wine."

My review: This wine has a surprisingly strong nose, almost too powerful.  Very dry palate with fruity notes, possibly plum, but not a very long finish.  Overall I'm not a big fan of this one, and probably won't be having it again.
