Apothic Red

Medium bodied, and jam-packed with sweet red berries, black cherries, chocolate and roast coffee, with a nice lick of sweet spice. A runaway success, from Gallo, the largest family-owned wine business in the world.

This is a blend of numerous black varietals, including Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot.

Food match: Great with chocolate! Also, barbecued spare ribs, barbecued steak, burgers with sweet relish.
