Tasting - Velvet Crush

Name: Velvet Crush, Crush Master's Red Blend
Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon & Petite Sirah
Region: Central Coast, California
Country: United States
Year: 2012
Price: $18.00

Shop Review: Velvety smooth texture just like its name. Soft tannins and lush dark fruit character. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah bring backbone and character, while the Merlot balances out the blend for a soft, smooth texture.

My Review: This wine was a dark red in color and gave off aromas of strawberries and also darker fruit jams. There was a slight smell of black pepper. The mouthfeel was smooth, but I thought it was slightly bitter. I think this was due to some tannin structure. However, the finish was very quick. This was tasted without food.
