Winery review: "You can't be serious all the time. Sokol Blosser makes wines that help you kick back and enjoy life. These proprietary wines, Evolution and Meditrina, are spirited, whimsical, and a delicious way to relax and laugh with a group of friends. Meet Meditrina. Cousin of Cupid. Daughter of Apollo. The yin to Bacchus’s yang. Meditrina, the Roman Goddess of Wine. Meditrina is an approachable and easy-to-drink wine that pairs well with food. It’s a wine fit for a Goddess … and anyone else who loves great wine. Meditrina. A perfect marriage of Pinot Noir, Syrah and Zinfandel that’s juicy, rich and full of fruit. Open a bottle and say marvelous, magnificent or simply Mmmmm." - Winery

My review: The first thing that came to mind when tasting this wine was that it would be 100% different if paired with food. On it's own, I was a bit indifferent about it. It was definitely a great balance of tannins. It was smooth and "velvelty" and I was definitely impressed by the presence of berries in this wine.
