Ruby color. Fruity, jammy aromas and flavors of sour cherry, bbq cherries, exotic spice, and cherry cola with a slightly chewy, soft, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a warming, interesting, medium-long finish that presents notes of eucalyptus, juicy currant, boysenberry, and chocolate covered blood orange with toothsome tannins and moderate oak flavor. Vibrantly fruity yet dry with notes of exotic spice, chocolate covered blood orange, black pepper.

International Red Blend

Wine Glass Zinfandel.jpg
Serve in a Zinfandel Wine Glass
International blend wines is a category that includes wines made from juice from different countries. Examples include a few wines from Canada that contain Chilean wine, while there are also examples of American wines that contain Zinfandel from California with Amarone, a robust red from Italy's Veneto region- along with, believe it or not, blackberry juice. These wines are often novelties and are not too expensive, although there are exceptions.
