Community Tasting Note

  July 3, 2011 - I'm very fond of Friuli reds. Yes, this region is best know for tremendous white wines. With that said, Friuli might be my favorite merlot-dominated red wine region in the world, Bordeaux included. The damp-earth rustic yet refined style really suits me. Yes, I know that sound contradictory - how can a wine be 'rustic' and 'refined'? Open a high-quality bottle of Friuli merlot and you'll see what I mean. This particular bottle has a lot going on. It's a '97, but it acids are lively and the tannins are sweet and apparent. I'm really enjoying this.
