Winery Review: The 2019 Ménage à Trois Red Blend is smooth, elevated, and sweet. TASTING NOTES: This wine brings ripe fruit, candied nuances on a textured and medium-sweet palate. Chill it down and drink by itself or with fresh fruits in season. 

Wine Folly (pg. 189, 88): The first wine in the blend is a Zinfandel. This wine has notes of cinnamon and sweet tobacco which I got tiny hints of. I did however, get some hints of blackberry and a strong tannin flavor as well. The second wine was the Cabernet Sauvignon. Another wine with notes of some warm spices, includes the taste of grahite in its flavor palette. I got some notes of some cherry from this wine mixed in the bottle.

My Review: This wine had a very warm flavor to it from the different spices mixed into their flavor profiles. I thought this wine had a very tannic flavor while also being slightly sweet. I got mostly the taste of blackberry and some cherry. This wine also had a very thick body with the taste of alcohol being very prominent. This wine would go great with a steak or another heavy dish.
