I am not a fan of Merlot but, Toasted Head Merlot is very good in my book. I know this is not a Merlot wine. Untamed is a blend of Syrah, Zinfandel, and Petit Sirah. The description on the bottle says, ‘Uninhibited, even slightly unruly …,’ I am ready for some big stuff here – right?
I get some berry notes. I would not call it ‘big’, ‘juicy’, or ‘rich’. Spice? What spice. Maybe some earthy notes, right. No, no earthy notes. This is pretty boring stuff here. I am truly disappointed with this Untamed Red. Untamed is uneventful even for a one dimensional wine. I do not remember how much I paid for the bottle but, if I saw this bottle on sale for $5.oo I would pass it right up. I would not even buy it for an unruly friend.
