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.

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
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

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

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
