  1/20/2022 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 88 Points

  Retail $30. 100% Ruchè. I do not have a ton of experience with Ruchè (being a Francophile, it just seems wrong using an accent grave there), the much lesser known red variety from Piedmont, so it is a bit difficult to place this wine. Light to medium garnet in the glass with oodles of fruit, mostly red (cherry, raspberry), some black (blackberry, plum), some spice, and a mineral note. The palate is *really* fruity, particularly upon opening (it calmed down a *bit* on Day 2), with plenty of acidity, noticeable tannin, and a slight bitter element on the finish.
