Game Of Thrones Red Blend 2015, Paso Robles, California, United States: Produced by winemaker Bob Cabral, this is a full-bodied Californian red wine blend of 8 grapes, mostly Syrah, Tempranillo and Petite Sirah. The coald soak was 3 days before fermentation and no malolactic fermentation. Aromas of sweet dark berries and lots of toasty oak. As the back label reads for this marketing-driven wine branded with the HBO series "Game of Thrones": From the arid climate of Dorne to the lush vineyards of The Reach, the topography of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros is as diverse as the wine we produce. Against the backdrop of the ever evolving struggle for the Iron Throne and amidst the howling winds of winter, nobles raise their glasses and toast to luck in the wars to come. The suggested pairings? Often served at feasts, paired with hearty meats, roasts and blackbird pie, poured at Small Council sessions. Drink: 2017-2021. 515684 14.70% D 750 mL  $29.95 Score: 90/100.
