Tasting - The Wolftrap

Name: The Wolftrap
Variety: Red Blend:  Syrah Mourvedre Viogenier
Country: South Africa
Region: Franschhoek Valley
Year: 2013
Price: $10.99

Wine Review: Wine Spectator - "A soft, friendly style, with a lightly toasty shell around a core of gentle plum, white pepper and melted red licorice notes. The fruit lingers well. A crowd-pleaser. Drink now." 88 Points

My review: I originally saw Gary Vay-ner-chuck sample this wine and was immediately convinced to go pick it up.  This was an excellent buy!  The nose of this wine was fruity, but with overpowering quaffs of pepper, like bacon!  This was definitely a full bodied, heavy wine with intense tastes of pepper and oak.

I had this wine without food.
