Bought at a cool little combination vintage clothing shop/natural wine store in Tallinn. Super hip, I know; sue me. Natural Loire Valley (this is VdF but I'm pretty sure this producer is located in Touraine and I'm guessing the grapes are at least mostly sourced from there as well) rosé bubbles consisting of a blend of Grolleau and Cab Franc. Semi-sparkling/frizzante. Unfiltered, a quite small amount of sediment is visible floating in the bottle. Not sure whether or not this qualifies as a pet-nat since the production method isn't totally clear from bottle info but it fits the character of one regardless of production method. A bit funky but delightfully so and its not over the top at all. Slightly unripe wild raspberry and strawberry, some funky yeastiness that's almost lager-esque (also pours like a beer as well in terms of bubble texture/level of carbonation), a tiny bit of heavy cream, and wet granite and quartz stones, not unlike the stone of the beach of the island we just left (Hitis in the Finnish archipelago) where we spent a few days at my favorite place on earth, my family's shared summer cabin. Overall, somewhat like a sour beer in overall character, in a really cool way. Med. (+) acidity keeps it juicy and fresh. Super yummy. Great pizza wine. — 8 years ago

A touch sweet but oaky and smooth as you like. Very good. Gives the impression of being a cab, but it's not. Wolf in sheep's clothing. — 9 years ago

2oz Rye; 1/2oz Sweet Vermouth; 2 dashes bitters. Stirred to very cold. Lemon zest optional. — 8 years ago
This wine is perfect when you are looking for a Sauvignon Blanc with more muted pyrazines. The flavor profile skews heavily towards mineral, stony, and dusty notes, rather than vegetal or fruity flavors. Think Muscadet in Sancerre clothing! — 8 years ago
first bottle we decided to try when we looked at the flights, definitely does not disappoint. optional decanter; light airing and sitting for 15-20 minutes will do, easy on the nose with a light woody taste and a 3 second lingering finish. — 8 years ago

The nose flexes it's minerality muscles right away, while also bringing white cherry, white peach, unripe strawberries still on the vine, and white pepper. Doesn't quite prepare you for the unruly palate. A spice bomb, layered with white/unripe fruits and M+ finish of acidity. A wolf in sheeps clothing. — 8 years ago
Quite stunning. It drank so soft and breezy. If it were clothing it would be a floral, linen summer dress. All fresh red fruits with some herb accents. I'm crushin. — 8 years ago

A soft, floral Cabernet on the nose but hints of spice and tobacco show up on the palate. Elegant is the first word that comes to mind, but its a wolf in sheep's clothing. — 9 years ago

Riesling in Chenin Clothing. Roasted nuts, almonds, some wooly fresh hay, spices, yellow fruits. Very complex. Palate is complex and super zippy. Insanely concentrated and powerful. Very pure and over 2 days still very structured. Very clean. Excellent. — 7 years ago
