Second exemplary bottle I’ve had of this. Nose is rustic/complex. A little barnyard, a little Brett, crushed stones, iodine, and dark berry pomace. Dry and earthy in the mouth, with nice concentration, length, and balance, and a touch of rusticly not-so-soft tannin still. I don’t see this improving, but big fun now.

Jan 31st, 2019Amazing value for $14!! Ripe, fragrant blackberries and cranberries on the nose. Palette sees cherries, raspberries, minerality. Great acid and alcohol is well balanced.

Intense minerality with very clean dark berries. Loads of soft tannin, full bodied but no heat. Decent acids. Shares a lot in common with wines from the neighboring town of Gigondas. Very good value.
