Color of garnet. Nose of fresh cut grass, fig, new paper, and nostalgia. Notes of fatty fennel salami, ripe plums, figs, and crisp sunshine. Drank with Joe and Christian on the DC patio. — 3 years ago

This wine is here to make you think. It isn’t your safe, predictable glass of wine; it’s raw, untamed, and unapologetically alive. Funky aromas hit you first—wild berries, dried herbs, and something earthy: like a walk through a farm after heavy rain. On the palate, it’s electric: tart red fruit, zippy acidity, and a texture that reminds you this is as low-intervention as wine gets. Somehow it tastes old but feels young. Pair with something primal—charred veggies or plain brick oven bread. This is wine for people who embrace craftsmanship and love the journey. It’s weird, it’s outside the box, and it doesn’t care if you’re ready for it. That’s what makes it brilliant.
