TN 2004 La Cassaccia Grignolino
Sunday night Betsy made a puttanesca sauce. Not first thing I think of
for al fresco dining on maybe the most gorgeous day/evening of the summer, but it was delicious. I wanted a light chillable red, and went for the 2004 La Casaccia "Casa Poggeto" Grignolino del Monferrato. I quite like Grignolino in general (though I've only had a few), but this was the best yet. Beautfully floral nose, light with vibrant acidity. Pretty bright strawberry and raspberry fruit, a sense of earth. This is a great $10 bottle of wine. Fresh and refreshing. B++ Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency. |
