Pale ruby, this wine smells of smoked meats/bacon fat and garrigue slathered on wet cement. In the mouth the wine has a crystalline clarity with great acidity making flavors of raspberry and other forest berries bright and shiny, even as they take a back seat to a little barnyard funk and forest floor. Cue James Brown Sex Machine.
