A great time to drink this. Still gives you the sensation of tearing into a whole pomegranate (juicy, crunch, slightly bitter) but with some smoky bacon-y Brett showing a bit more

I'm absolutely in love with everything they make. Can't get enough.

Oregon received 5 cases of this wine. My allocation was 6 bottles. I'm so in love with this wine. It's everything I want in a wine; fruit, acid, mineral, blood, kiss of white pepper. Phenomenal

Multi-parcel old vine Mencía, this new vintage just hit Chicago. Very expressive fruit and minerality, with partial whole cluster and foot trodding. 🔥🔥🔥

Pretty, violet floral nose, red raspberry, and very racy acidity.

Great red fruit, lithe and mineral. Not as coiled and packed as the 2015. Still very good.

Love the style! Restrained, mineral and fruit supported. Dusty tannins that I like ... would like to try their other wines

Drank it with dry aged steak au poivre, grilled radicchio with blue cheese and balsamic syrup, and sautéed rapini. Nice earthiness, mild tannins, pleasant funk.

Cherry, fennel, herbal. Great minerality throughout.
