Tasting - Velvet Crush Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah

Velvet Crush
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah
California, USA
2012
$6.95
Shop review: Velvety smooth texture just like its name. Soft tannins and lush dark fruit character. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah bring backbone and character, while the Merlot balances out the blend for a soft, smooth texture.
Color:  very deep red
Smell: deep cherry, musty, rubbing alcohol, strawberry
Taste: oakey, little vanilla, little bit of spice, bitter
Personal rating: There are no real fruit flavors coming through. Its a very tannin/bitter wine. I'm not a huge fan.
