Spicy Red Eft

Red Eft is an interesting blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Noiret from the Red Newt Cellars in Finger Lakes (Seneca Lake), NY. It seems as though it is a kitchen sink blend but it is quite a good wine. Spicy on the nose, fruity and smooth on the palette. The spiciness comes from the Noiret grape, a hybrid grape variety developed and named by Cornell University researchers.
I was going thru my collection from Finger Lakes from the recent trip in June when I found this bottle. I opened it yesterday and can't wait to finish it today. mmm...
