Sean Minor Nicole Marie 2019

Sean Minor Winery from California produces very good affordable wines. This red blend is on the higher side of their wines that I have typically seen in the wine stores. The blend of 50% Merlot, 33% Zinfandel and 17% Petite Sirah was attractive to me. I love a good blend and will usually gravitate to one in any store I go into. The color on this is deep and dark. Aromas of smoke, cocoa and ripe plum. Flavors begin far brighter than the aromas would have lead me to imagine. Black cherry, prune, raisin and vanilla create an interesting profile. The tannins are very mild making the wine smooth and approachable.
