2019 vintage. Definitely dustier and dirtier than the exquisite, "plushy" 2018 vintage and packing more power. Medium body. Super youthful and would seem to require a solid decade to drop much of the punk attitude. If you like your Saint-Émmies on the tannic side, this be your jam. 8.8.24. — 5 months ago

This CM is a punk.

Just had this after a Caymus and it blows it out of the water.

Big. Blackberry. Silky tannins. Complex.

Best Portuguese wine I’ve ever had. — 5 years ago

Powerful, dark wine. The Grenache adds some red fruited aromatics. This is heavy on delicious, but light on complexity which makes sense with the $15 price tag. Need a good pizza wine, here it is. Unwound are one of my favorite punk bands and Numero Group’s reissue of their catalogue a few years ago is a gift. — 6 years ago

Tastes like cru beaujolais but with a little punk rock attitude - always love how olivier delivers the brett & barnyard in the best way possible — 8 months ago

This a fun one. A little spicy/peppery. — 3 years ago

I’m a big huge mega fan of Ochota. This wine has attitude and sass and carries it all off like...I don’t know maybe it’s the “the forest” name but it is like if goth-punk-pop went royal. All the red things: cherry compote rhubarb stew and some cracked peppercorn and dried branches and bramble and a texture of earth. Love it. — 5 years ago

This is a teenager Cortese that decided to become a punk. But its parents accept the whims of the youth. So the rebelling spirit stays tamed. The bouquet is full of spoiled white plums, soaked white flowers, raw dough, kōcha kinoko, smoke, and pickles. To my taste, it lacks acidity (so not sure what destiny awaits this little rebel). Overall it is complex, multilayered, and even has some delicacy. And all these umami flavours (hello, mr Shiitake)! And the aftertaste of ripe, even baked fruits and pickles. A good find, for sure. — 2 years ago

As a 41 year old bald celibate vegan in Bushwick, I shed one long tear just now thinking back to that summer in 2002 when I was teaching ESL in Osaka and followed the Japanese punk band YuraYura Teikoku in a Volkswagen EuroVan with my then Japanese girlfriend and her semi-erotic manga collection. — 5 years ago
