Andrew Rich Tabula Rasa Red 09

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

A "country" French style Rhone blend red, Syrah, Counoise, Grenache, and Mourvedre at a great price. Highly recommended.

Scents of sweet black cherry and spicy red fruit complement a lush, sensuously textured mouthful of sweet black cherry, blackberry, black raspberry, toasty cinnamon spice, and a zesty, uplifting finish. As my tasting notes are marked -- YUMM! -jean

A Syrah-based Languedoc-style red, this red shows a rich, smoky raspberry and cassis nose, deep, chewy roasted fruits on the palate and a long, long mocha licorice and chocolate-laced ripe tannin finish.

Andrew's "Tabula Rasa" line of blended wines represents some of the best value oriented wines from Oregon. For eight years Andrew has made tiny amounts of these very reasonably priced wines and they sell out rapidly. The Tabula Rasa wines are some of our favorite summer quaffers- wonderful flavors for summer picnics, grilled meats, or just sipping.
