Francis Ford Coppola Rosso Blend (California, 2009)

Category: BlendEddie @ 10:42 pm
This is a wine that we’ve reviewed previously in the 2008 vintage, but we were disappointed with the 2009 compared to the previous year.
$16 from Fry’s
Two and a Half Trophies
  • Aromas of over ripe raspberry and a slight hint of black pepper
  • Very tannic out of the bottle
  • Long finish with flavors of dark cherry
  • A bit plain at first and the finish is where all the flavor is at
  • Hints of rosemary
  • Kind of like going to a Black Angus or a Red Lobster…a recognizable name that you are satisfied with but not overwhelmed.  Buy it if it is on sale obut do not go out of your way to pick it up at full price.
