Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, May 4, 2011 - A blend of 50% Mazuelo known as Carignan in France and 50% Tempranillo all sourced from organically estate grown vineyards in Rioja Alta. Deep ruby purple core with light legs. Clean nose, medium intensity, youthful aromas of ripe black cherry, raspberries, rosemary and thyme and freshly ground black pepper. Dry, medium acidity, medium bodied, medium alcohol (13.5% abv), medium - ripe chewy tannins, medium intensity of dark ripe fruit, earthiness and sweet spice. Opened for the second day, as first yesterday the nose was very funky and earthy but much of that has blown off today. A good value organic Rioja wine which showcases alot of Mazuelo flavor. About $16 US retail.
