Terra Rossa Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

What a weirdly animal, mushroom, forest( swamp) nose! Lots of extended skin contact , 10 days I believe. Natural fermentation and extended ( 5 years)aging in large barrels.No temperature control.Teran 40%, Merlot 40% Cab 20%. Iron, Plums, berries, bark, rocks, nails…
This is some wild and wooly stuff right across the Italian border in Slovenia.
Switching to a “proper”big glass from a decent Riedel stem tames down the funk and it finishes lighter than one may expect. Still bright at 13 years. Only 11.5°.
Very weirdly interesting.

Thanks Chambers St. Wines.

Brown is the new orange. This 2006 is drinking surprisingly bright and salty for a wine it's age and color. Dirty. And appealing. Though not as "weird" as I expected. — 10 years ago

I'm no Cab Sauv fan, but this is a wine I can like. Really mellow on the fruit, mineral, green pear(!), dried cranberry, high acid but only medium tannin... Nothing like CS, and I'd drink it all day.

Scratch that, this was the Sauv Blanc. Also very nice and very atypique.
