Clayhouse Adobe Red

Yesterday, turned out to be another one of those magical "Iris" moments! Houston's number one saumonier (in my opinion), Iris set it off for us at The Tasting Room in Uptown Park - yet again. This time she introduced about 15 of us to a blend she poured earlier called Clayhouse Adobe Red. Smooth is about the best adjetive I can use to describe it. A blend of Zinfandel, Petit Sirah, Syrah, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a berry-scented, saturated purple, fruit bomb that offers ripe, smoky flavor, a slurry texture bordering on chewy, plenty of glycerin, sweet but firm tannins and not a hard edge to be found is also how I would describe Adobe Red.

Iris before you get too excited about my aforementioned professional wine description of Clayhouse Adobe Red, please know it was completely plagiarized from http://www.sparrowine.com/ :)
