Wine Tasting #7: Apothic Crush Blend


Crafted with Modesto, California grapes in 2022, this cost about $8.99 from Kroger. In this blend, it brings characteristics from dark and ripe fruits in Sirah, ripe raspberry in Zinfandel, and dark berries in Pinot Noir. 

After my research about Deb who makes (my favorite) Apothist wines, I just had to try another one. I may be biased, but I think this lady knows what she's doing, Contrary to the Cabernet, this Apothic Crush: Smooth Red Wine blend was more mocha tasting. I could totally taste the cherry, plummy, jammy dark raspberry-like fruits, and a little caramel to finish them off. It also smelled a bit like cinnamon and black, dark cherry. It does make the sides of the mouth water a bit which I learned was a sign of the pallet begging to be mixed with food -- but wine is food! In the future, I hope to pair it with a cheese or event a chocolate dessert like a brownie, or cake. But if we're being honest, I would drink it with anything! 9/10. 

From Online Reviews: "Very smooth and very mild. Does not have a strong aftertaste and is very pleasant. It has a hint of floral and a medley of grape."
