Sokol Blosser Meditrina, IV

The Winery: Sokol Blosser
The Wine: Meditrina, IV
Price: $18 (I recently was able to score a few bottles at $14.99 at the local grocery store).

Sokol Blosser has become my favorite winery. Their wines are very good and reasonably priced for the quality.

Meditrina combines Syrah, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel grapes. The combination results in a rich, full-bodied wine. It has a gentle pepper flavor to it, and is a fairly dry wine. I find it pairs equally well with pasta dishes and steak. It also goes nicely with very dark chocolate. Tonight I am drinking mine with Lasagna. Yummmm.

As a side-note, I highly recommend the Sokol Blosser Cellar Club. It is a very convenient way to sample the wines from Sokol Blosser.
