What Am I Tasting?

This red is generous and juicy with dark fruit, espresso, violet and mint notes … Play the game!

July 11, 2025

Our blind tasting game—without the tasting! Can you identify a wine just by reading its tasting note? We post real Wine Spectator reviews. You use clues such as color, aromas, flavors and structure to figure out the grape, age and origin. Good luck!

Tasting Note: This generous version showcases a crunchy, juicy thread. Dried sage, laurel bay leaf and mint complement the core of dark, dense wild blackberry, plum and huckleberry flavors, with a note of espresso, plus a hint of dried violet on the firm finish.
