Raw meat, slight rubber, blackberry jam, pencil shavings, slight barnyard (N) Black fig, ripe cherries, raspberry, black licorice, cocoa powder, allspice. (P). BOMBA! Med silky tannins, m+ acid, long finish. Like a cross btw Burgundy and CA Pinot!

Its like a lighter, brighter Lodi Zinfandel. Less weight and more orange and rose

Like nothing else I’ve had, grapefruit, Lanan. $20 for the 2022 vintage.

$20 for the 2020 vintage. Came together nicely after about 45 minutes of airing. Low tannins. Drunk with pasta Norma. With Bellini have liked it?

Frappato really shows through. Rather than Neto being the base with some complexity from The frappato. The frappato plays the lead singer and the Nero privdes structure.

Two of my favorite grapes combined into the perfect blend. I get red plum and cooked strawberry. I could drink this wine for days. Super smooth.

Soft cherry aromas with a mineral edge. Palate has a Beaujolais-like candied character mixed with a funky and earthy vegetal component.
