One of the most massive wines I've ever encountered, all natural, no wood. 100% whole cluster, 6 months skin contact. This is the color of beet juice and will stain everything that it touches. So smokey, concentrated, bright acid, with exotic black fruits.

Tannic, high acid, black cherries, woodsy, very distinct yet not unlike some Syrahs in CA.

Like a grilled cheese sandwich, but the cheese is coagulated blood and the bread is terra-cotta.
