Wine 41: Ruche

So I got in contact with the website I last ordered wine from, three weeks ago. The order had stalled because the only had 4 of the 7 I ordered. Not surprising and not the first time it has happened.

Ruche di Castagnole Monferrato, 2007
color: dark garnet
aroma: floral, raspberry
taste: It started out dry, warm and dark. There was a type of berry flavor I can't quite place. The fruit grew after the first day. I really liked it.
ratinf: good

Wine 40: Cinsault

And now, the last of my backlog. I no longer have a file full of tasting notes. Perhaps I should have spread them out to cover dry spots. I think I will have one soon because my last wine order was made last week and I still haven't heard from them. Anyway, I clearly need to back off when taking photos

Vin de Pays d'Oc Escapade, 2008 Cinsault
color: dark purple
aroma: strong cranberry
taste: It started out with cinnamon and medium tannins. The cherry developed a bit and it became smokey.
rating: average

Wine 39: Grignolino

I checked my stats for the first time this week, people actually look at this thing. It is odd, as this is really just a way to archive my tasting notes. I had a spike of Serbian traffic when I reviewed those wines. I shall try not to let the fame of hundreds of people looking at this place go to my head. Again I apoligize for the poor picture, but the out-of-focus picture showed the color of the wine better.

Da Cascina 'Tavijn, 2008 Gridnolino
color: rose or pale red
aroma: roses and vanilla
taste: It was dry with light flavors and a stronger aftertaste of cherry and indian gum. The wine was tarter up front later on, very fruity, a lot of cherry.
rating: good
