Note di degustazione
More Mourvèdre-dominated, the 2020 Casual Encounters is a blend of 58% Mourvèdre, 34% Syrah, and 8% Grenache. Blackberries, smoked meats, licorice, and candlewax are just some of the notions here, and it's a full-bodied, mouth-filling, opulent red offering ripe tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. This is a classic Russell From style of red that will keep for 7-8 years. I always love these wines from Russell From, and they’re consistently made in a ripe, pedal-to-the-metal style that stays balanced and light on its feet. These pleasure-bent, sexy wines are always fun to drink.

The 2020 Casual Encounters is pure seduction in the glass, with a captivating blend of crushed blackberries and plums accentuated by cinnamon, clove and mocha notes. This impresses further with a balance of velvety textures and ultra-ripe red and black fruits energized by juicy acidity. A flourish of cocoa and balsamic spice lingers impossibly long as the 2020 finishes hauntingly dark and gently tannic. This is a pleasure bomb and not for the faint of heart. Casual Encounters is a blend of 58% Mourvèdre, 34% Syrah and 8% Grenache.
