Posted by Edmund in Argentina, Syrah, Wine & Liquor

Rutini Syrah 2004 100% Syrah Not available on Wine-searcher The color is an intense red, with dark purplish tints, but is somewhat muddy. It has a big aroma, but it’s soft, in the sense of being rather pleasant and not overwhelming. It smells earthy, with notes of rain, dirt, raisins, and plums. The wine is rather smooth, with a...

Rutini Vin Doux Naturel

Rutini Vin Doux Naturel 2004 Verdiccio, Semillon (late harvest dessert white wine) Not available on Wine-searcher Golden, rich color, with nice greenish tints. Not much in terms of legs—must not have too much sugar (it’s probably not a fortified sweet wine, as in the case of most Argentine desert wines) Very sweet, fruity aroma,...

Rutini Sauvignon Blanc

Rutini Sauvignon Blanc 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Not available on Wine-searcher. Keeper for Value Color is obviously clear, but with nice, greenish tints. Nothing outstanding, though. Fresh, fruity aroma, like peaches or apples. Quite strong for a Sauvignon Blanc, which is very nice. The wine is smooth and fruity, causing a slight...

Rutini Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec

Rutini Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec Not available on Wine-searcher, but it was quite cheap in Argentina (around the same price as the Rutini Malbec and Rutini Cabernet) Good Value. Nice ruby color, with great legs. Not much aroma, though light floral hints can be smelled. The blend works extremely...

Rutini Malbec

Rutini Malbec 2006 100% Malbec $13 to $21 on Wine-searcher (most are $18 or below). Keeper Lovely, intense, ruby color. More so than most Malbecs. It has a fresh aroma of raisins, plums, and black figs. It is subtle, but very pleasant. Very full-bodied. Body just jumps out at you. And the wine is also very smooth. It’s a pleasure...

Rutini Cabernet Sauvignon

Rutini Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 100% Cabernet Sauvignon $18 on Wine-searcher. 1 Vendor. Keeper Beautiful tints of ruby and violet. Intense, and purpling, but with a bit of lightness to the color. Aroma is muddy, earthy, and woody. There is the smell of a forest, of rocks, and of fresh fruit. Good body and structure to the wine....

Felipe Rutini Apartado

Felipe Rutini Apartado 2002 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 30% Malbec, 20% Syrah Bodega La Rural $47-$55 on Wine-searcher, although 1 vendor is selling it for $29 (a steal). Keeper This is the top wine of the line and one of the few blends that Bodega La Rural does. It is a Bordeaux-style wine. The color is a gorgeous ruby....

Rutini Pinot Noir

Rutini Pinot Noir 2006 100% Pinot Noir Not available on Wine-searcher. Keeper Argentina isn’t known for pinot noir, so this wine is quite the interesting find. The color is a tad weak. It’s much lighter than the other Rutini wines (due to the grape varietal largely), but it does have some shades of lighter reds that come through...
