Terre Rouge 2007 Tete-a-Tete Red (Sierra Foothills)

Country: US / California
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
Winery: Terre Rouge / Tete-a-Tete

Despite some black cherry richness, there’s a green, minty, stalky note of unripeness in this blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre that limits its appeal. Decanting doesn’t help and neither will aging.
