2002 Cline Red Truck

[dananne]

Blend of Mourvedre, Syrah, Merlot, and Pinot Noir. The latter two caused me to put this here instead of the Rhone thread.

Deep red color with flashy red fruit nose and flavors, which turn a touch sweet. A bit of chocolate on the finish. Not great or memorable, but it'd probably be a nice acompanyment to BBQ when a sweeter, fruitier wine is needed to cut the spiciness of the sauce. 13.5% alc. Paid $10. FWIW, WS 88; to '08.

We had a discussion of that juice back in May of this year..... see http://wines.com/ubb2/Forum39/HTML/000679.html. Consensus was thumbs-down.

Thanks for the link. I recalled the discussion, but didn't see it when I did a search (though, I confess, I searched under subject only when I should have searched under entire message). Glad to hear that I wasn't the only one who was unimpressed with it. I, too, won't be looking for it again.

I'm in with the thumbs down crowd also...
