Tasting - Skyfall Red Blend

Name: Skyfall Red Blend
Variety: Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvedre, Cabernet Franc, Grenache
Region: Columbia Valley, Washington
Country: United States
Year: 2015
Price: $9.95

Store Review: A blend of 55% Merlot, 22% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Mouvedre, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Grenache. Wonderful berry fruit on the nose with integrated oak notes woven throughout. On the palate black cherry and blackberries mingle with spice and oak notes. A broad and rich wine with a long elegant finish.

My Review: Just from smelling this wine, I could tell that it would be dry; it just smelled dry, along with dark fruit smells. The flavor was a little bit subdued though I picked up on the oakiness, and it was quite dry on the finish.
I tried this wine on its own with no food.
