Dense Crimson with s cherry red rim. Aromatic primary plummy earthy spicy aromas. A savoury medium to full bodied palate. Medium Intensity and length with fine savoury tannins. A rare red grape type with only 653 Hectares grown in its native Alto Adige and Trentino. Negligible amounts in the new world. A progeny of Teroldego, a grandchild of Pinot, and a cousin of Syrah.

If you love Italian wines or, going further, Piemonte, you owe it to yourself to try this wine, made of the rare Ruché grape (100 ha planted as of 2010 according to the Oxford Companion). It is rather beguiling, and despite its bitter finish and tannic undergirding, reveals its charms easily. An opaque nebbiolo garnet colour. Immediate burst of citrus on the front palate. Nose of spices and leather. Bracing acidity, long tannic finish. Utterly fascinating. — 9 years ago

Part of Woodland's 6 for $60. First one of the bunch. Delicious the first day. Day two not as much. Still definitely worth it. I'd buy it again. — 13 years ago
I never ever manage to get Chablis 1er when blinding so I’m cozying up with the Oxford companion, The Wine Bible, the Wine Atlas and the Guildsomm site to study tonight. Oh and also a opening a bottle. This wine has a lot to say! It starts with citrus, lemon rind and yellow apple on the nose then on the palate there’s all that plus the minerality. I can fairly taste white clay. And something almost honeysuckled to it. It’s very very tasty. I will keep tasting different producers until I can nail this blind.

Glorious! Loads of nuts and fresh button mushrooms, with hints of orange zest and freshly shaved and bathed armpits; long and balanced with lovely acidity (freshly squeezed sweet lemon juice at the very end). It's way too young though - will improve for half a century. And the score will improve as it goes (92++). A rarified and deliciously ambivalent drink that will appeal to the intellectual palette; an Oxford comma of a wine! — 10 years ago

Purposely taken with a Jaffurs glass. The salesman at Oxford Wine Co. said this is the closest we'd get to Condrieu in the £17/bottle range. This made me zoom back to Santa Barbara after one sniff. Everything Craig Jaffurs talked about snapped into place like a puzzle. Licorice, chive, pepper, honeysuckle and other white flowers. Some orange marmalade on nose and palate...completely consistent. Med+ bodied, silky smooth...heavenly. Speaking of Heaven, Morgan, this is your dear friend, correct? — 12 years ago
