If this is a bistro style vin de soif, then I wish I could have this more often. The Mourvèdre adds some crunch, however this is still a lighter style made with a deft touch.

Light on it's feet, it's easy to quaff this wine. I expected a grittier wine but the Mourvèdre was well integrated and added some body to the blend.

The Dirty & Rowdy house style is taking the lead right now, though I imagine this will even out with a little more time in the bottle. Crunchy, lifted and super floral - another excellent run at a California vin de soif, bistro wine. Glou Glou indeed! @Hardy Wallace @John Lockwood

A true “frankenwine”... who would even consider a 50/50 Pinot/Mourvedre blend? But... (wait for it...) it works. Soft, silken, steely, deep, focused, cloudy in the glass. Low ABV...Smokey, dry, already developing secondary notes of rare meat and savory herbage. This is a site/specific wine... high, rocky, volcanic...bizarre enough a true “food wine”. Life under quarantine is too frigging short to drink boring/ traditional wines... High fives to John Lockwood and Hardy Wallace...The wine is a Dirty & Rowdy/ Enfield collaboration.
