I am a huge fan of Mckinley Springs wine promoting the crap out of the syrah which I feel is right up there with one of my long time favorites... Ex Umbris from Owen Roe.
Bombing Range Red is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Syrah, 8% Mouvedre, 3% Petite Verdot and a 1% splash of Malbec. This is a true "Kitchen Sink" blend that delivers way more then the kitchen sink. At first the nose is closed somewhat with some dusty tannins and dark cherries. As the wine airs out the aromas intensify too dark fruits and hits of black licorice. If you are a big Amarone fan as I am, you are going to love this little gem. Sweet tannins, black licorice, and ripe black currant notes fill the palate in a very Amaronish way. (Not sure if that is a word, but hopefully you get the idea). This is an intense wine that only gets richer as it breathes. This wine is drier on the finish then it is on the front and mid-palate which is a nice side to the wine and it lingers very for some time on the palate.
Amarone typically sells for over fifty bucks, so if you are in the mood for an intense wine like that but do not want to fork out those major bones, this wine could fit the bill for you. During the month of July they are letting this baby go for a meagerly ten bucks a bottle. That is a sick price for such a good bottle of wine, and you would be crazy to pass it up... I'm just saying.
