Tasting- 2008 Masked Rider Gunsmoke Red

Name: Masked Rider Gunsmoke Red
Variety: 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Petite Sirah, 15% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2008
Price: $5.95, originally $14

Winery Review: This young 2008 blend shows aromas and flavors of fresh fruit, plums, black currant, herbs, espresso notes and complemented with touches of earth. A smooth mouth, round tannins and a tasty finish.

My Review: This blended wine has some floral and spice  aromas on the nose, with notes of earth. I did not notice the fruit until I tasted the wine and came back for a second smell. The fruit helps to sweeten this red as it has a distinct parching sensation.
