A Good Monday: Dirty & Rowdy & EDWC YEAH! Tasting in ATL: Like so many of Hardy's wines- there's a lightness - in color and body- that belie the complexities of his wines. Lighter color- but heartier than 17. Cranberry. Crunchy. Fresh. Floral.
Wanting to open one of these for a friend who is a fan, I pop and poured half the bottle, then corked and enjoyed the rest later in the evening.
I had the D&R Rodnick Mourvèdre early this year and was a bit underwhelmed. This Evangelho was much more lively, fresh and floral. This reflects much more of the D&R style (carbonic flair, crunchy bright fruits) than it does varietal (not meaty/savory in any way). Translucent purple in the glass with violets and sweet carbonic aromatics. The palate sports underripe blue and black fruits up front but the finish turns very herb crusted black cherry and dried cranberry. Zippy acidity. Fun and easy to drink.
13.5% abv. Medium purple, very aromatic. On the palate, rose petals, raspberry and mint. Excellent depth and length, light on the palate with energy and outstanding balance. Really a great effort by the D&R team!

Like a visit with an old friend. The talk is easy. You finish each other’s sentences, and there’s no space between you. Comfort and excellence.
