Shining through with a little grit to burn. Lamb cassoulet handled that.

Fun to stumble upon this. There is more, but I'm not telling where.

Black fruits, olives, leather. Lean peppery, medium bodied. #SEARtradivin

Sad to see the last one go. Lots of complexity and texture with blue & black fruits, nice grip, but not mean, and all the peppery, olivey, and beef jerky Syrah goodness I could ask for.

Rich and spicy on the nose with dark brambly fruit and notes of black pepper, violets, leather and bacon fat over a base of crushed granite. Big and smooth with fine, polished tannins a lively acidity that support juicy wild berries and gamey flavors. Rustic and dusty, the wine finishes elegant and feminine.

A pleasant sort of funk, rather like a mild fart along with delightful fruit.
