ROWEN RED WINE 2017, Sonoma

That blend of cab, malbec, and syrah makes it drink way above its price point—the black raspberry and cocoa notes lingered long after the glass. A bit young right now, but another year in the cellar should round it out beautifully.

The blend of Cabernet, Malbec, Syrah, and Viognier gives this wine a really interesting depth. I picked up those black raspberry and cocoa notes right away, and it paired beautifully with our steak dinner. Definitely ordering another bottle for next weekend.

We opened this after letting it breathe for an hour and the black raspberry and cocoa notes really came through, exactly as described. The Viognier adds a softness that makes it dangerously easy to sip on its own.
