The Rude Mechanicals

Oscar Adrian Mancillas De La Torre

Textura Rosa 2023

2023 Textura Rosa, Valley de Guadalupe Mexico

One of the very few natural wines where I find the process (or lack of process?!) complimentary to the grape instead of diminutive or downright rude!

A mix of red fruit on the nose - both over ripe strawberry and ripe tart bing cherry.
The taste carries the tart bing cherry notes with a wonderfully fresh acidic finish. I would never guess that this was grown so far south of the 40th parallel

Nose is lovely gunsmoke. Chocolate. Cherry coffee.

Palate is so ripping clean, mineral and juicy. Early season cherries. So good.

A 9.2 Out of the gate. What a great wine with food.

Freshness on this is insane. Tastes like a 2020.

The Bourgogne rouge they serve in heaven. All I need is pate, cornichons, cigarette smoke and some rude French waiters.

Highway 12 Winery

Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Okay, yum. A smoky fruit forward deep purple wine with lovely soft tannins. Having it at a rooftop restaurant and being extremely rude by taking wine notes but hey, it be like that sometimes. Notes of currant, blackberry, chocolate. Very good. — 4 years ago

Château Font du Broc

Côtes de Provence Red Blend 2019

My favorite red from this stop along the wine trip - most beautiful vineyard, but rude staff. This was balanced but a bit light, and not too oak — a year ago

Château Pech-Ménel

Saint-Chinian Syrah Blend

Everything by this winery is textural perfection that speaks both to wealth and lithe limbs. Wine that knows how to be rich but not rude. Indeed it is silk and soigné — 3 years ago

Terre Brûlée Cornas Syrah 2018

I’m calling this balanced... I barely know what I’m talking about, but I know what’s good. This have my favorite amount of tannin. It makes me wanna slurp this through my teeth even if that’s rude. — 4 years ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2017

I broke my promise to myself not to ever buy Produttori again, after the rude reception we received in their Barbaresco store. It is slightly better than I remember.

Bardolino Chiaretto Rosè Corvina Blend 2019

Excellent rose; best I’ve ever had outside Provence. In fact, only rose I’ve ever truly loved outside Provence. Somehow it’s supremely refreshing (95* and humid), good with food, and continues to evolve with new flavors over two hours. Bought on recommendation from Phillip at The Wishing Well. Raspberries, vanilla, floral, with long subtlety-spiced finish. Drank at dad’s house with left over BBQed chicken from Rude BBQ. Very good pairing. Going to buy more tomorrow. — 4 years ago
