This is a delightful oddball- Bread dough, barnyard, currents, plum skin. It's leaning towards that 'natural' wine character but luckily it doesn't cross the line for me.
Good texture - nice balance in the mouth between silky lacto acid and soft tannins.
Good wine to serve to your crunchy Gen X friends while you can still enjoy it.

Rustic and hearty and a little bit boxy until it loosens. It's shy aromatically. Earthy, bing cherries, prunes, and crushed rosemary.
Tannin, structure, and acid seem intact when a little give would do.
Cali wildness that doesn't feel quite as psychedelic as the Chardonnay (see previous note) — 4 months ago
Honeymoon wine! Lush and robust, nose a little funky, but the taste is phenomenal! Dark berries, kirsch, lomey soil, dried herbs, and smoky! Fantastico! — 2 months ago
