I know a thing or two about Loire cab franc. This is a crazy wine. Light body. Complex. Faintest pyrazines, but totally integrated, so they only appear on the mid pallet and are disappear at the finish. bright, restrained red fruit. drying tannins on the back end. Almost alpine, underripe blackberries and cracked pepper. Drinks like a feminine Barbaresco with different fruit profile. Wild. — 3 days ago
Very nice for its level. A true baby brunello. Well proportioned. Restrained, complex, long. Oranges, cherries, leather. Ready to go with a short decant but will improve in the cellar. — 16 days ago
A bit of volatile acidity, started to balance out after a couple hours as I was finishing my last glass but still kinda fucked up. Ehhh. There’s good Zin stuff here, whispers of chocolate and blueberries, but it’s masked by VA. I seem it flawed. I want my money back. — a day ago
Last time I drank this was five years ago according to delectable. Pulled from the cellar for a ribeye. Luscious. Rich and dense but not over the top. Pretty decent acid holding it together. Oak was a hot mess 5 years ago, now it is fully integrated. Fruit is maturing but still has freshness. still plenty of tannin. In a good spot. probably 2026 for my final bottle.. — 8 days ago
This is in a really great spot. Rustic and a bit savage, beautiful purity of fruit. Big and firm, very much the opposite of plush/soft California. Pair with pork chop and booger sugar. — 17 days ago
11.9%. Quite light bodied. Perfumed. Sweet pear and melon on the nose. Nice delicate wine but I think I’ve decided I don’t love Vermentino as a grape outside a few mainland Italian versions. Never really does what I want it to. Gimme more acid! — 2 days ago

A bit reductive/flinty. Textural, mineral. Not giving up much fruit. High acid. Thankfully none of that cheap NZ gooseberry or cat piss. Pretty nice now with food. I think it I’ll save my next bottle until 2026. — 10 days ago
Magnum. Corked. Flew across the country with this. Fuck my life. — 22 days ago

Method champs from Piemonte. Golden straw. Boisterous bubbles. Nectarine pit and a little toast. Zero dosage. Solid. — 4 hours ago
