Excellent wine at this price. Complex and comes together beautifully, soft tannins, nice fruit. I can’t wait to try more by this producer.

Exotic and killer. Rustic, but great balance between juicy fruitiness and earthy funk with nice focus on the palate. Juicy plums, herbs de Provence, some earthy funkiness from wild yeasts, and some subtle hints of olive. Killer with middle eastern food.
