Lost Angel, (California) 2008

Sep 27, 2012

By Marguerite Thomas

There’s a lot going on here, most notably the mix of different grapes involved in making this red wine, including Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab Franc, Syrah, and Sangiovese. The result is a medium-bodied wine that is a lot more stylish than one might expect for the price, with its chunky, dark-fruit flavors, and a trace of spice and dustiness on the finish. Unlike so many moderately priced California reds “Mischief” does not overwhelm with sweetness.
