About the Wine: Rhiannon is a signature red blend from the Rutherford winery. The 2005 vintage goes for upwards of thirty dollars a bottle. The winery stopped making the blend for a time but has released it again.
About THIS Wine: The wine is a beautiful violet color in the glass and fades to the edges. Jammy red fruit is prominent on the nose with hints of smoke and oak. The fruit delivers on the palate with a thick, almost syrupy texture. The palate is both rich and smooth and finishes with mild tannins and spice.
Drinking This Wine: This would make an excellent compliment to a nice, meaty chili. It would also be good for a sipping wine.
Overall Impression: Smooth but also robust, this wine is good for the price.
