Linne Calodo Perfectionist Red Rhone Blend 2013

$78

Rare new release from Paso Robles cult winery Linne Calodo.  Limited. 93 Points Robert Parker: "Another medium to full-bodied, lightly textured, elegant effort is the 2013 Perfectionist. Made from 68% Syrah, 17% Mourvedre and 15% Grenache, it shows plenty of Mourvedre savoriness to go with ample red and black fruits, smoked meats and a touch of olive tapenade. Like all of Matt's 2013s, it's seamless and perfectly balanced, with lots to love. Drink it anytime over the coming 8-10 years. Drink: 2015-2025."

Certainly not perfect but juicy and rich. Not worth the money when you consider what you can get from S. France for half the cost. Fruit bomb

Purple juiciness of cassis and black raspberry with a richness that is hard to dislike.

Not like we remembered it from the winery. Great cherry flavor but a bit tart in the back of the mouth on the finish, Even after it opened for a while.

From the winery- 68% Syrah, 17% Mourvèdre, 15% Grenache This is my playful attempt at being less concerned with perfection and focusing on being dynamic, changing things on the fly and creating a wine that is truly its own. Perfectionist uses the coolest climate syrah blocks from the estate, we ferment them whole cluster, getting a phenolic structure that stands out from other wines. Cofermenting with the grenache and mourvédre allows for a rare, individualistic wine. This is the opposite of diligent blending. Aged in concrete. Drink through 2023
