Strawberries and incense on the nose. Palette is extremely difficult to describe. It comes down to personal taste, and this is not jiving with any of my senses.

Merlot from the Northern Rhône - and it's delicious. Best discovery in awhile.

Having made my way through the line of Bocks, Suck a Rock is probably my favorite - it’s uncomplicated and balanced - dark berries and minerals.

Raspberry, blackberry, violets, chalk dust.

Clean and focused.

Love rocks. Sucked many after this tangy soft bodied red. Notes of rocks. Loved sucking this one back.

He called it "Franc-y" and that it is, I guess. I call it delicious. Almost like a cider.

A little recap from last week. And of course it's gamay and it's lovely. Served at home with strong moldy cheese, local plum jam and Miles Davis best, and second, great quintet LP box.

(flag decoration a tour present from a certain disco dad while on tour in Australia around 2007. Thanks again Mr. It still hangs in the kitchen.)
