Apothic red wine 2010 review full#

If you have a 2011, this should keep well through 2014. Perfect for us! We do think an 89 point rating is deserving. So now we have 2 favorite vintages! Intense dark fruit flavors, spice, smoke, & a bit of funk.

If you like a silky white wine with a bit of front end sweetness, give this wine a try. You can pick out each grape, but when you step back you can sense how each one compliments the other. The blend of the three varietals was very interesting.

Apothic 2019 Inferno is a Red Wine with a Whiskey Soul. Like the other Apothic wines, the taste of this wine is unique.
Syrah and Merlot add intriguing notes of ripe blueberry and boysenberry, while a mix of other red varieties add dimension and depth with hints of spice. We are so glad that the 2011 Boekenhoutskloof Wolftrap is back and tastes like our favorite 2008 vintage. The 2021 Apothic Red is a rich Zinfandel-led Red blend with red silky, smooth layers of black cherry, boysenberry and black pepper. Or for the vegetarian – Portobello Mushroom Burgers! The smoke and funk will be like a symphony! Pair this with medium to strong cheeses, grilled steak, pasta with tomato sauce (with or without meat), and mushroom burgers. Flavors of black currants, dried plums, tobacco, & spice teased my taste buds! As the wine opened up more, more hints of smoke, vanilla, and a long smooth finish. It pairs well with steak and meat dishes.

On the palate, it was full bodied, silky, and a feeling of some nice tannins. This red wine is very well balanced and medium to full bodied. The nose had a nice aroma of dark berry, violets, smoke, and a bit of funk…. I must say the great flavors are back and this is an impressive wine again! This wine has a very vivid red color and purplish on the edges. It made me wonder what would be in this 2011 bottle.

The 2009 changed to an American Palate wine which was overly fruity, soft, & a bit flabby. I will be honest and say I became hooked on the Wolftrap 2008 vintage but felt the 2009 was a bit lackluster. This is a blend that is mostly Syrah, followed by Mourvedre and Viognier. Lingering in South Africa last evening as we were sipping The Wolftrap red wine.
