Requiem Red Blend, Columbia Valley, USA 2020 Case (6x750ml)

This 50–50 blend of Syrah and Merlot begins with promising aromas of blueberry compote, cumin and orange zest. Once in the mouth, that promise falls short. The only fruit I could pick out was a modicum of dark plum, with weak black tea and dark chocolate to keep it company. The mouthfeel feels thin and the amount of heat on the tongue was distracting.
