Trumpeter, Reserve Petit Verdot 2008, Rutini Wines pushes forward




Trumpeter Reserve Petit Verdot 2008, Rutini Wines, USD 13
A roud Petit Verdot from Ugarteche district in Lujan de Cuyo Dpt  in Mendoza. Deep red and brilliant. Nice sour plumand some sweet forest small fruits. Nice red bell pepperish and gentle green fresh herbs.Almost no spice nor mint. Smoky finish but a short aftertaste. Adequate typiciy for terroir and variety and average attractiveness. I´d say 85 points red with barely acceptable value to price. A wine for less than 4 years cellar.
