A nice mix of black/blue/red fruits, lightly spiced, Medium to full bodied, feels like a bit of whole bunch (?) nicely dry savoury finish, tannic, crisp acidity. 93 as I thoroughly enjoyed sitting at their new cellar door with the afternoon sun filtering through the gums. — 5 years ago

@Bob McDonald it was ok! surprisingly easier than I thought (same went for my partner Niki). I think it took about 2 weeks to really feel the difference, at which point yes, sleep was better, starting the week felt better (we do drink more fri/sat/sun), all in all a good break that also saved us some money :) However … having a nice glass of wine is a real pleasure both in the taste aspect, but also the social/shared experience angle. Also a good reminder of how much drinking is baked into our society (with both good and bad ramifications). Coming out of it, as mainly a red drinker, I’m also seeking out more medium bodied styles vs the bigger reds I have probably leaned to in the past - sort of a taste re-alignment.

Strange wine. Very little fruit here, but a crazy amount of botanical herbs that reminds me of Chartreuse, jasmine, chamomile, slate, leafy greens, and maybe some spearmint. Not delicious but fascinating none the less. This will get someone out of their comfort zone real quick! — 4 years ago
