What Am I Tasting?

This balanced red has stiff tannins and cherry, earth, tar and leather notes ... Play the game!

June 09, 2023

Our blind tasting game—without the tasting! Can you identify a wine just by reading its tasting note? We post real Wine Spectator reviews. You use clues such as color, aromas, flavors and structure to figure out the grape, age and origin. Good luck!

Tasting Note: This red is hallmarked by fruit and savory elements, featuring cherry, plum, earth, tar, eucalyptus, licorice and leather flavors backed by stiff tannins. This isn't overly astringent, however, and finds nice balance on the lingering aftertaste.
