Why Rouche (Rouchet) is not more popular is a mystery to me. Gorgeous extroverted nose of purple florals, mountain berries, and crushed stone. Round, fruity, and full flavored, it’s got some soft tannin framing the deep fruit. Complexity isn’t its thing, but it delivers on character.

Gorgeous fruit and floral aromatics. Candied flower petals, dried strawberries and pomegranate seed. Really pretty, if not a bit hot at 15% abv.
Sadly this bottle is ever so slightly corked, but the wine is trying to rise above it.

Really extraordinary nose. Supposedly geraniums, and I get roses too.

Regional Profile: Piedmont at Corkbuzz Chelsea Market. Inky and unoaked, with intense dark fruit flavors. My favorite red wine of the night.
