*%#&@! 2006 - Twisted Oak

$29.95 per bottle

The meaty and peppery characters and hints of Provençal herbs and spices might have you thinking this Rhône-style blend of Mourvedre, Syrah, and Grenache just fell out of a “California Cheese” commercial. Well, the name is the only cheesy thing about it! Those bright fruit flavors of blackberry and cherry sure ain’t no bull! (Note: No animals were harmed in the writing of these tasting notes.)
