Benevolent Neglect
California Counoise
California, USA
A little too much barnyard-y funk at first but settled in nicely. Light bodied red with tart red fruits, cream, and great acidity. Delicious.

May 4th, 2021Oranges and cinnamon on the nose. Zinging acidity mixed with bright red fruits and baking spices. A serious fun wine. And a seriously fun wine!

Oct 10th, 2020Look at this thing, such a pretty wine. Medium purple color with a rosy rim. The fruit sings on the nose with notes of ripe wild strawberries and blueberry jam. Spice and cedar combine with violets. How to make a fun wine without it being silly and frivolous? Like this. You don’t typically see single varietal Counoise, especially not domestically. Spice is dominant throughout the attack with bright acidity and a highly pleasing mouthfeel. The earthy elements really show on the palate with some forest floor and dried herbs. Cherries, plums, and more strawberries shine here. A little vanilla and a ton of wonderful spice. Serve chilled and it will be spectacular.
