Homeboy’s B day part 2, at Basque restaurant: a delightful pairing by the Somm after we realized how much the Ribera Sacras would set us back. Female vigneron once again wins: young red cherries on palate, but with enough smokiness & creaminess to balance its tart expression. Plenty of funk but gets integrated. A delightful fresh foil to a delicious meal. I have to look up the varietals because they weren’t obvious.
