Wow. Plum, blackberry, toasted marshmallow. Full bodied, smooth, but present tannin. Highly recommend by the fireplace on a foggy night. — 6 years ago

Earthy, manure, tarragon on the nose. Can't say it's pleasant, but definitely interesting. Light, red fruit, lively acid on the palate. This is a weird one. — 6 years ago

Blackberry jam, spice, minerality, nice tannins and acidity to round things out, and full bodied for sure. A bit boozy though at 15.4%, you can feel some heat — 6 years ago

8.8

Some really nice blackberry/huckleberry/blueberry pie going on, firm tannins, strong acidity, almost a salty quality. Lively, but a bit too tight. Not sure what to make of this one... Probably just too young as it's a 2017. — 6 years ago

Try some French cab franc for comparison: chinon, bogueil, samur-chapigny etc
