Meza Wine Club - August 2026
Enthusiast Red / Red
Wine 1: Crotin Ruche' di Castagnole Moferrato
Medium bodied with aromas of rose petal, mulberry and tobacco. Ruche is not as racy as the region’s other reds, but it’s still fresh and energetic with a good tannin structure. Wine Enthusiast: While Ruchè’s deeper history is dependent on storytelling from generation to generation, DNA analysis confirms its roots as a crossing of Croatina, a tannic and rustic black grape, and the near-extinct, Muscat-tasting white grape Malvasia Aromatica di Parma, which likely contributes to Ruchè’s aromatic qualities. Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato was designated a DOCG in 2010. The region is a UNESCO-recognized site producing one million bottles from seven small municipalities in the Monferrato: Castagnole Monferrato, Scurzolengo, Grana, Montemagno, Portacomaro, Refrancore and Viarigi.
Wine 2: Bloodroot Undertow Red Blend
A robust blend of 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 17% Syrah, 12% Grenache, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Mourvedre, sourced from Sonoma County. Notes of currant, laurel and cinnamon harmonize with accents of pomegranate, blood orange and cherry followed by earthier tones of tobacco and leather with air.
