First off, it’s all about this label. Positively gorgeous. Just look at it.

Medium burgundy color cherry red accents. Carbonic maceration is evident immediately and funk just leaps from the glass. Beautiful, sexy funk. Strawberries abound along with plums and raspberries. Dirt is the star of the show. Fresh, funky, dirty dirt. Wet earth and forest bushes are spectacular.

100% Garnacha from Castilla y León and the terroir truly shines here. Fresh and energetic as all hell, this is so much fun. 14.5 but after an hour you’ll never feel it. You’ll be tempted to drink this pretty quickly but resist and it’ll grow and evolve. Blueberries, lemons, and quite a bit of spice on the palate. More strawberries and kumquats glisten. Medium finish that hits just right. Don’t worry about trying to look past the label, it’s all part of the experience.

Fresh and sassy meets rustic berry patch. Snappy acidity too.

Maceration carbonique field day with equal parts of Brett. Boysenberry aromas. Gassiness blows off. Rustic.

Not good. Dislike. Tasted like carbonated grape juice that went flat. Bad.

Hello carbonic maceration! Medium-bodied. Strawberry, soil, and a dash of brett. Zesty gooseberry lingers on the palate. Tempted to drink the whole bottle!

Young but super expressive wine. Blueberry and lemon notes. Let it age or let it open up
