If you're looking to get slapped in the face with funk, this wine is for you. If you like farting on an airplane because no one can hear you, this wine is definitely for you. Talk about subtle tannins creeping on you like a man in a dark alley wielding a paper mâché knife. Drink this in solitude. Cry in public.

Soft white pepper. More shrub then herbaceous. Cool and Somber. Delightful

Woody taste. Is that Sandalwood? The bouquet is certainly suggestive. No tannins to speak of but I like the mouthfeel.

Don't really get any of the red miso everyone's talking about. I do get a ton of strawberry and black pepper aromas tho. Pretty great wine all around.

This is really not working for me. It's got an umami miso thing going on--first Bi-Rite recco I haven't liked in a while. Different for sure.

Lush, ripe fruits tempered by forward black pepper, with cool anise and fennel hanging nearby. Softly structured with delicate acidity. Savory toward the end. A little iron. Very nice.

Strawberry oomph with a savory quality. White peppers balance the ripe fruit. A little hot actually.

Well rounded. Some floral notes with a peppery finish and some hints of minerality
