Some damn good red wine. Grolleau + Gamay + Cot + juicy, tart red fruit and just the right amount of natty funk.

It's exactly what I wanted :) A little bit of uptown funk

Described as "wacky" and it really is. The bouquet is like manure on wood, but it tastes like delicious sour berries. Almost like a sour beer. Very light, and so so good.

Tasted ok but was put off by the smell of vinegar and alcohol. I'm sure it's my undignified palate. Not for me.

Enjoyed this wine with hot dogs, spare ribs, and ripe tomatoes with whipped ricotta so far this summer. Has yet to to disappoint. Pencil lead, animal, meat, and funky raspberry.

Perfect wine for BBQ chicken or turkey. Brett shows through on the nose of this but also reminds me of cranberry juice. Oh so, refreshing on a summer evening!

Farmhouse wine. Very earthy and elegantly odd.
