Stephen Vincent 2006 Crimson

This wine is 75% Syrah and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Sonoma and Central Coast, crafted in the Rhone style. It smells of darker fruit — like dark cherry — and subtle vanilla and oak. Swirling and sipping, it also tastes of dark fruit with very smooth tannins and a bit of acid. I think this wine would shine with food such as beef, lamb, or duck, but still could be enjoyed just by itself – if you’re mildly into acid, that is. ($10-13)
