Only way I can deal with this fall thing is to raid my cellar for earthy, light reds. Stunning how fresh and juicy this fruit remains for a year when my old ass was still in college. Pronounced nose of grubby earth, dried herbs, with cherries and pomegranate underneath. Bright, fresh fruit takes over as you start sipping. Mouth puckering acid at the end cleans the palate. And repeat. This is fun.

Nicely aged chinon. Iodine, red fruit, some braised cabbage and grilled sage. Violets! Really good.
