Loups-Garoux Rouge Red Blend

@Michael Elmore absolutely nailed the notes on this. Just go read his. A super interesting wine, I’m probably not buying it again at $40 but I have huge love and respect for these awesome Vermont cuvees.

You guys! CA, WA, NY, and OR don't have a monopole on sun and soil. Approachable, fruity, scrumptious. 2013 vintage. Vermont doing things well in the bottle. Aesthetically too, I think.

Wolves of Chateauguay. Howling (opened) since December 15.

Incredible and unique wine. Raisins, mollases, port ... bright acidity and a clean tart finish.

So much beautiful red berry.

Sasparilla root, intense fruit, smoke.

First experience with this vineyard and very disappointed. No complexity. Very sweet. Tastes like blackberry jam. This was the closest I've been to pouring out a bottle of wine and at almost $40 a bottle, that is sad. Buy VT beer. Don't buy VT wine.

Funky nose deep chocolate cherry. Dark yet soft and very present acid in mouth. Love. Oh and grown in Vermont?!?!!!

Fascinating, and unexpected.

Beautiful! Honey and flowers on the nose, high acid tart cherry on the palate
