Community Tasting Notes 3

  March 22, 2020 - Screwcap, 13.7% alc. Mataro 65%, Grenache 18%, Syrah 12%, Cinsault 5%.
  
  Dark, impenetrable mulberry colour.
  
  Glossy, bright-berried aroma with white pepper, deli meats, graphite, vanilla, and a slight formic acid element from the aldehydes.
  
  Finely balanced on the palate with a medium body. Gluggable, but at the same time has a deceptive chalky tannin structure that isn’t obvious until the finish – keeping it all together. Good length.
  
  Opinion: A lovely, graceful wine. Gee, I have a lot of time for these Ruggabellus wines. Outstanding.

  March 3, 2020 - Dark fruited, very complex floral perfumes, Middle Eastern spice, rocky mineralite, perfect balance between feminine and masculine, tannin unobtrusive, approachable and delightful now.

  June 27, 2019 - A lovely mid-weight wine that is expressive and engaging. It offers up whiffs of plum and ripe cherry and there’s a hint of all spice. It is rich, with a creamy mid-palate and fresh uptick of acidity top the back end.
