Red Truck Red

Cline Cellars of California and of Rhone-style wine fame has jumped into the cheap red wine market.  Their 'Red Truck' is a gemisch of Mourvedre, Syrah, Merlot and more.

The Skinny
Red Truck, 2003 ($9)
California
Young and ruby-purple
Young (again) and fresh.  Scents of red raspberries, red cherries with a hint of oak
Simple in the mouth - fruity flavors, young 'narrow' tannins and a moderately quick finish
A Cheap-n-Cheerful wine
Try with buffalo wings, pizza or reheated lasagna
