Rusty Mutt

Bouchard Finlayson

Galpin Peak Pinot Noir 2015

Vibrant rusty-red colour, slightly brown on the ridges from aging. Pronounced legs. Intense nose of dark cherries and dried plum with chocolate and wood. Medium acidity, strong yet smooth tannins, dark cherries, big mouth-feel and long-lasting finish, fantastic wine! — 7 years ago

Château Haut-Segottes

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Geoff Troup
9.2

Dense and concentrated for budget Bordeaux. Seven years old but a lot of life left in it. Heavier focus on Cab Franc yields bigger funk at first. An hour in the funk dials down to a more spicy, black pepper quality. Mid palate fruit before rusty, dusty, Brett-y tannins dominate the finish. Tremendous with duck confit appetizer and hangar steak entree. — 8 years ago

This is an exceptional Merlot and a great value. Tasted against the Knarley Head and Menage a Trois Merlots and it was every bit as good as they were. All three showed well, but based on price the Mut Lynch is a big, rich winner! — 9 years ago

Bressan

Friuli Verduzzo 2007

Rusty color. Slight oxidation. Solid fruit and acid. Drinks light like a white but has notes of light reds like gamay or Pinot. Classic bressan. Weird and delicious. — 11 years ago

No question this vintage has gotten a little funky, but it fills me with joy to drink a wine like this from California soil. Cranberries, rusty iron, cinnamon, redwood bark, tangy and easy...this wine is screaming out that we're finally a wine region with cool shit to discover. — 12 years ago

Let me rephrase that--got a little excited--not "finally," but "once again."

Okay, calming down, there's plenty of exciting wine to discover in sunny CA, but this wine really got
my imagination going. So utterly different.

Silvio Giamello

Vicenziana Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2011

A nice Rusty Garnett with nice rim variation.
The nose tells me there's some candied cherry strawberry, potpourri, anise and tar.
The pallatte stays a little lighter than other nebbiolos(true to style-the drink of Queens) but to truly enjoy, enjoy some food with it and decant this thing-the tannins are not joking around. A lovely wine.

Château Vieux Chaigneau

Lalande de Pomerol Merlot Blend 2000

Killer value, a Lalande de pomerol w some depth- initial nose of stewed cherry and lead pencil evolved into dried lavender, Chai tea, and bitter cacao nibs with a rusty iron background to it. Silky smooth texture. — 10 years ago

Allegracore Etna Rosso DOC Nerello Mascalese-Nerello Cappuccio Blend 2009

Light rusty garnet colored, very clear. The scent was minerals and almost a little grassy. Compelling to drink. Medium finish, soft tannins, good acidity, red cherries, concrete, lots of tasty minerals. Paired really well with spicy red pasta sauce. — 10 years ago

Flat Rock Cellars

The Rusty Shed Twenty Mile Bench VQA Chardonnay 2006

The 2006 Rusty Shed Chardonnay is a blend of four blocks of Chardonnay on the Flat Rock Property. Grapes are hand picked and hand sorted before whole bunch pressing takes place. It was then cold settled in stainless steel, 100% barrel fermented and left on the lees for 10 months. Wild and commercial yeasts were used for primary fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity. The result?
Beautiful example of a mid to full bodied Chardonnay with butter, vanilla, apples and light spice on the palate. A lot of flavour and elegance at this price point. Sampled this 2006 in 2017 but this should sit well and perhaps develop more for a few more years. Best part? It's from Niagara! Loved it!

Château Gruaud Larose

Sarget de Gruaud Larose Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Second wine of progressive climate-concious second growth of the left bank; Dark ruby with clear 10-year aging rusty tones; the most dominant on the nose is a exciting minerality with dark red fruits, spices, and oak in the background; taste is silky sweet and very well balanced and with a long elegant finish. Very nice wine that is probably not too many years away from its peak. — 9 years ago
