“The most obvious question with respect to X Winery and proprietor Reed Renaudin is how can these wines be this good at these prices? Everyone is looking for good values today, and here are some exceptional bargains.” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Here’s a great value red for fans of Orin Swift’s “The Prisoner” or any big, fruit-and-spice-packed, red from Australia, California, or Spain -- sort of a “Baby Prisoner.” The 2007 Red X bled of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel hits you in the nose with ripe blackberry, black plum, and a hint of licorice. It will smack your palate around with ripe, juicy, black cherry, plum, and blueberry fruit complicated by a lash of mocha, pepper, and licorice. As the wine escapes, it leaves a finish of blackberry cobbler, cinnamon spice and mocha and good ripe tannin. Best partners in crime for Red X are barbequed ribs, burgers, grilled chicken, or most any roasted meat. All this at such a low price just has to be illegal!
