Very fresh wild herbs & just picked red fruits on the nose. Wild raspberries & currants on palate, resolutely medium to medium light bodied. Low tannins yet nicely chewy. Dig the no label/only a hanging tag aesthetic. Very enjoyable, shared with friends at local restaurant/ wine bar, which had this for under 50- always a sight to behold

a red custom-built for salty smoked salmon (or bacalao!), almost genetically so, it’s a perfect fit. a saline, astringent, difficultly bitter and very polarizing sipper becomes plush, aromatic, fruit driven and prolifically nuanced with the pairing....blood iron, raspberry, about-to-be ripe strawberry, bush-herbs, tart cranberry, and back to waves of salt and iodine on the finish. as if the ocean rolled over the vines and left a dusting of salt and dried blood, and the color expresses it beautifully - wtf!

Tight, acidic and tannic. Quite aromatic. Red fruits flavors (cherry, strawberry) with a touch of spice and a salty finish … It would benefit tremendously from aging. Emerging grape with an amazing potential. It will be not the last time we cross paths…
