Serious Brett... farmy, and for one in our group, it was “cow patties”. Tasty mineral cab franc/ Malbec blend for those who can get past the nose. Chalk up another questionable wine for the naturalists.

Not your coworker’s Malbec. Incredibly fresh and crunchy, with the perfect amount of Brett. It’s bright and red fruited and great with spicy and intense food.

Spot on berry, thyme, pencil lead. A touch of juiciness balances cool bitter tannins.
