Fruity, funky, and fun. Cherries, strawberries, mushrooms, miso, smoke, and mint. High acid, low tannin on this one.

Umami for days!!! Super crazy mixture of ripe persimmon and smoked mushroom. Pinot/Gamay blend- going to take next time we have Peking Duck.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again now. Out of all the hipster winemakers out there, Broc is by far the best and most interesting. This could have turned out to be a linear, acidic with classic pinot flavor, but instead we get this strange mix of umami tomato, cherry juice, and some wild acidity (even a touch volatile). This wine is so fun and weird. The food pairing possibilities are endless. #hipster #organic #gamay

Burnt peanut carnival confection with black-cherry cola. Was super funky on release but has mellowed out nicely. #buybroc @Chris Brockway @Bridget Ann

Insanely close to many of the small batch natural gamay wines I had in France. Cherry fresh and so quaffable, could probably pair with anything.

Like bread and butter pickles on the nose. Soft and light on the palate.
