Axios Truth Lindsey's Cuvee Blend (Red) - 2006
It was a little tricky to find any background on this wine. (Google "Truth Wine" and see what kind of crazy results you get.) But if you're just going to drink this, I think you'll be happy, especially if you're having it with a nice steak. I learned this is a Cabernet Syrah blend, and upon first pour, it has all the makings of a steak wine - it's dark purple, opaque, plum colored rim, looks heavy. From the nose, I get strawberries and some earth, maybe tree bark? And a hint of black pepper. I have a sip and it's a light texture, not as heavy as I thought. That black pepper makes its presence felt, it's all over the roof of my mouth. Bit of a drying finish, but that pepper flavor is what stays. I have it with some steak and it works perfectly. That peppery earthiness is a perfect complement. I found this at my local wine shop for around $20 so this may be my go-to steak wine.
