2011 Bridlewood Blend 175, Central Coast, CA

Found this 2011 Bridlewood blend (Syrah, Cab, Petite Sirah, Viognier)  at Trader Joe's for $12.99.  I had to look up the blend, though I had suspected Syrah & Cab, the viognier (a white grape) was a surprise, even though its not uncommon in the Northern Rhone and Australia.  Really inky, dark fruits, not hot from alcohol, and a nice refreshing acidity.

We had it with garlic roasted rack of lamb and mushroom risotto.
