Winery review: Apothic Inferno is a small batch red blend featuring flavours of dark fruit layered with some dried fruit characteristics. Notes of oak, maple, spice, and vanilla/coconut, light imbedded with some char notes compliment the fruity foundation for a plush mouthfeel and well-integrated tannins. (WeSpeakWine)
Wine Folly: pg 288, CA Blends: You can find great Syrah all over the state, but the Central Coast is by far the most dedicated to Rhone varieties. The best wines have deep black fruit, peppery flavors, and dusty minerality. Santa Barbara and Paso Robles are great places to start looking. (FR: Blackberry, Blueberry Pie, Cracked Pepper, Mocha, Bay Leaf)
My review: (Served Room Temperature) On the nose, very peppery and almost spicy. On the palette, sweet to initial taste but eventually overtaken by the whiskey barrel oakiness. Definitely a fan of the less traditional wine flavors.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
