Tasting - Rubus

Name: Rubus
Variety: Red Blend: Petit Sirah, Rubired, Tinto Cao, Alicante Gazin
Region: Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2014
Price: $8.95
Winery review: Deep, dark ruby color, aromas of blue fruits, confectionery and subtle licorice characters, thick luscious palate with good structure and soft finish. A blend of Durif, also known as Petite Sirah, a grape known for its very aromatic, plummy character. Rubired is a cross between Tinto Cao and Alicante Ganzin, known for being particularly adapted to the hot climate and producing dark wines. And Shiraz, which we all know for being the most recognized grape varietal of Australia, brings some minty, spicy and fruity characteristics to the wines.
My review: Oh I remember this one. This wine was pretty alright, and for the price, a good pickup. It was no CK Mondavi, but eh could be good. My friend yev said it was his "CK Mondavi" so it is a pretty good wine considering Yevhen doesn't normally like reds. So onto my review of the wine. The smell was deep, dark, and like coco. The taste was light, and not very much. This would also make a good chugging wine especially for the price and percentage. Would recommend to my fellow poor college students.


I did not have this with food.
