John and I are huge fans of the Apothic blend so last year, when a friend introduced me to Apothic Dark I knew it would be good. I was saving this review since this is sort of the perfect spooky wine for October.
Apothic is under the E.&J. Gallo brand and was named for the mysterious place, Apotheca, where vintners stored their most coveted concoctions in 13th century Europe. Most of the grapes in Apothic Dark are from Lodi, which has been touted as the next Napa. The grapes were fermented at a maximum of 90 degrees which pulls out the fruit notes in the grapes.
This blend of Petite Syrah, Teroldego and Cabernet combines flavors of blueberry and blackberry with enticing notes of coffee and dark chocolate for a smooth taste.
Apothic is only available for a limited time, so make sure you stock up if you like it!
Have you tried Apothic Dark yet? I would love to hear what you think about it.

This Apothic Dark wine sounds truly intriguing. How I wish I can get a taste of it! Thanks for sharing your experience/review about it.

Hmm interesting, haven’t heard of this brand yet. Love the name + label though! I’m more of a white wine drinker in general but there are some reds I like.
