Winestyr Review

Those in love with full-bodied, flashy reds need look no further. The Byron Blatty 2016 Ghost Cat Red Blend is a heady, immersive experience from the nose to the palate. While Syrah is the leading grape, more than 1/3 of the wine is Bordelaise varieties, so the Cabernet Sauvignon in particular stands out. This is a hedonistic wine that offers a medley of black and blue fruit flavors, dried savory herbs, and spice. Portions of the proceeds from this wine will be donated to SaveLACougars.org, to help fund the planned wildlife bridge over the 101 freeway.

Byron Blatty Wines

Byron Blatty Wines is a love letter to Los Angeles County, both new and old, where vines used to line the banks of the LA River in the late 1800s. Prohibition and vine disease wiped out most of those plantings but thanks to producers like Byron Blatty Wines that others who champion the region, small family-owned vineyards are making a comeback. Byron Blatty focuses on limited-edition, handcrafted red wines that feature sustainably farmed, family-owned vineyards in Los Angeles County.

I was not expecting a lot from this wine and we have purchased nearly a case by this point. This is a big but not too dry red that has a lot of fruit. Absolutely love this wine.
5 / 5 stars
I LOVE this blend. The fruit/jam from the syrah starts things off in the nose, but it rounds out well in the mouthfeel and tannins with the cab, merlot and cab franc. I love this winery and think they're doing some great things with their Los Angeles county grapes.
5 / 5 stars
Favorite by far. Smooth
