Legit wine here: tasted this at the shop before buying as it appeared gimmicky to me, but it was delicious after being open for 2 days... this is not your fruit bomb of Yecla & Jumilla, this is serious Mourvèdre with concentration & polish. Gorgeous black fruit (blackberry & plum) mingled w/that savage animal & iodine, big minerality and white pepper, anise, cocoa, dust, damp Earth, and plastic. Broad & expansive on the palate - vivid, well-balanced thru finish. Over-delivers @ $14 — 4 months ago

This is a small town beauty pageant winner - rural North Carolina channeling the Right Bank... gorgeous brooding ripe almost stewed plum, blackberry & boysenberry mingled with dusty edges, spices, savory and a wild savage forestry-herbaceousness. Medium bodied w/firm tannins backbone - an absolute pleasure that absolutely over-delivers @ $17. .1 bump for locale & price point — 2 months ago
Deep, savage, brooding wild black and purple fruit, smoke, pepper, meat, rocks and distilled violets. There’s some carbonic element that’s settled in nicely. Its low SO2 upbringing is evident, VA is elevated but right up to my limit. Quite lifted and pungently aromatic! Found the tannins settled too, acidity is really driving, the northern gore soils are showing their impact. Enjoyed seeing some bottle development here. — 2 months ago
How could I resist a $22 bottle of “orange” wine being a devotee of Gravner, Radikon & Damijan... and this was a pretty good attempt. Same region near Slovenian border, this has that wild savage oxidative nose, nutty, dried orange rind, dehydrated peach & apricot. Mid weight on palate, maybe lacking some guts & polish - solid acidic structure & balance leading to drying finish. Contemplative wine - would def buy again! — 4 months ago
