This does not disappoint. Haven’t tasted a huge amount of Tom Lubbe’s wines, but have had the pleasure of meeting him. A wonderful man with great integrity. I hope one day to sit down and discover how he created this devastatingly delicious, can’t-stop-thinking-about-this, wine. The color, the nose, the palate. 10/10. — 6 years ago

Tastes of spiced raspberries and cherries, red currant, but has a spicy heat to it too. Like a slow burn from a jalapeño dipped in your glass. — 8 years ago
Never not loved a brutal. Inky rose. — 8 years ago
I know the cool kids are bored with orange wines, but here in the Midwest we're lucky to get our hands on any. This beauty has a wonderful bitter tamarind flavor I've previously never tasted in wine. Great with food. — 9 years ago
Fantastic field blend. Light, with fruit forward, and a hint of minerality. Highly drinkable — 5 years ago
My first brutal!! A little bit earthy on the nose like a light rain but so much smoother than I expected. Such a nice open with cherry and a peppery finish. Great introduction to this natural wine niche. — 6 years ago
A bit too flabby for me, but the fruit is solid—just could have used a bit more acid on the finish to give it some lift. — 7 years ago

Medium ruby color. Sour cherry on the nose. Hints of floral, rose petals. Low tannin. Medium-full body, almost jammy. A little acidity. A little tart on the finish.
A triumph! We had this with Thanksgiving dinner 2020. — 5 years ago

Unique barnyardy aroma. Hibiscus. Super drinkable; especially in the humidity. Almost like a wild ale. Can’t wait to pick up another bottle. — 5 years ago
