Tonight’s wine: A 2006 Mendoza (Argentinean) Cabernet Sauvignon, “La Flor” from De Pulenta. One of a set of staple evening reds I’ve used this year for when I want wine without food, it stands alone very well. A touch acidic, but with good fruitiness (a tannic strawberry to my mouth, but I’ve never been a big fan of the “Hint of wild raspberries on a wet spring morning” descriptions). Has a sweet nuttiness, and works well in small doses – a solid slow evening glass.

Today’s wine: A 2006 Rosemount (Australian) Pinot Noir. Picked up from the supermarket with dinner when I forgot to go to the wine merchant, and regretted; have had some 2006 Shiraz from the same estate in the past and found it excellent for the price point. This, costing circa £8.00, has no depth whatsoever, is overly acidic, and has no fruit tones that I can detect. Disappointing – should have bought red food dye, vinegar and water.
