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. — 10 years ago

2012 - equipaggiamento aromatico decisamente mentolato e minerale, di solida eleganza e che spazia da elementi vivaci e agrumati a profumi solari e avvolgenti [fiori bianchi di consistenza carnosa e nocciola]. Bocca completa, di rilevante struttura che si distingue prima per la salda integrazione tra le sue componenti e poi si distende accelerando tramite micro impulsi, soprattutto di carattere sapido. — 11 years ago

Ciliege e spezie infinite, tannico ma non sgraziato, non esagerato, elegante nelle sue note e tutto sommato equilibrato a dispetto della sua potenza. Il bel formaggio stagionato qui secondo me ci stava da 10 ma anche la cacciagione da piuma e la lepre in umido che lo ha accompagnavano non disdegnava. — 11 years ago

I wasn't thrilled with this one when it went to bottle, but for me it has really come around. Very floral, intense aromatics. Ironically I get the too much oak comment... yet this was in only 6+ year old barrels. ??? — 11 years ago

Piccolo frutto fresco di colore rosso condito da pungenze sempre misurate di spezie e smaltate. Al palato colpisce la completezza del vino in tutte le sue componenti. — 11 years ago

Well if the 82 Bordeaux are proving amazing so is this Wynns 82; like it's cousins in the Medoc; very cabernet dominant; winemaker at the time John Wade, now a WA resident; had his first go at small barrique winemaking; now more cleverly used by Sue Hodder; current winemaker; this 13% wine still has the black fruit of correctly ripe cabernet; and the tannin draw and backbone which ticks my boxes; great drink from Coonawarra; wished more from that region show this way; the bar is set; 33 years later; #wynns #coonawarra #cabernet #1982 — 11 years ago
