Beautiful, explosive nose of pine needles, eucalyptus, cherries, forest floor and musk thus is a special wine. The pairing I don’t think was perfect, paired with spicy roast pork shoulder, but the wine was medium bodied, rose red with hints of purple. The palate is fresh, floral and light, but with vegetal and forest-y notes, with hints of soy glaze, plum, and grass notes on the finish. — a year ago

Really liked it (with smoked pulled pork shoulder). More nuanced than the Provence Rose' s I'm used to. Part of the Thomas July cellar 6 pack. — 4 years ago

Dark, smokey, sauvage. No notes really, just delicious as hell with braised pork shoulder, flageolet, onion, carrot and harrissa — 2 years ago

Nose has ripe blackberry, fresh black cherry, cherry jam, mashed cherries, toasted anise seed, sweet smokey cedar, cherry liqueur. Rich and beautiful.

Palate has bright black cherry, old milk chocolate, cherry jam reduction, ripe fig, dried fig, black currant jam, moist garden soil, licorice and grape Jolly Rancher candy. Rich palate with mild tannins and long finish. This wine is in an outstanding spot with years ahead of it still, enjoy 2024-26, in proper storage. Decanted 6H.

Paired with pulled pork sandwiches, a Superbowl Sunday tradition for us. A local pork shoulder (Mill River Farm, New Marlborough, MA), dry spice rubbed and rested for 24H, then 10H in the slow cooker; it's just falling apart...so beautiful, our kitchen smells amazing! Garnished with our garden bread & butter pickles, homemade barbeque sauce, pickled red onion and a dash of cilantro, all a worthy combination. — 4 years ago

Wonderful full-bodied wine. Served it with braised pork cheek and it was a home run. Lots of red fruit with nice mineral notes. Will buy it whenever I see it. — 3 years ago
