Friday, May 24, 2013 - The fact that someone makes a bizarre, ripe, entirely unenjoyable, unnecessarily disjoint blend of grapes does not make it "geeky," or "interesting." In this case, it just makes it bad. "Fruit and earth" would be the euphemism for it was more aptly described as "rotting cherries." Also, currants, herbs, barnyard, loads of acid, and medium chewy tannin. Inspires not "yum" but "what IS that?"
Drinking it, I thought "Garagiste!" And indeed, Rimmerman's dial-a-prose machine landed on "wine geek, value and terroir," a wholly inapplicable set of words. If you ever thought "What would a $5 blend of cabernet franc and pinot noir taste like?" then this wine is your answer. I have never wondered that.
