2017 vintage. Beautiful electric magenta hue. Meaty, gamey, earthy, plum, but balanced by generous acid. Could use just a touch more time in bottle for flavors to integrate, but outstanding wine #organic

This smooth and fluid French blend of 7 different varietals reflects the unique Southern French Mediterranean soil. Magenta in appearance and presenting fruit aromas, its taste of plum and blackberries make it a sipping treat on a chilly Canadian night Cheers 🍷

We enjoyed this bottle late into the night, taking our time and growing our appreciation of the wine as each sip grew richer & more sumptuous. From an assortment of grapes grown on an arid and rocky, white gravel plateau in the tiny village of St Jean, France - this small batch, biodynamic beauty has alot of personality. Instantly fresh and out of the bottle with notes of red fruit, silky, smooth and growing in complexity as it breathes. By the final glass I was noticing hints of leather & blackberry jam.

Interesting but a little overwhelmingly acidic.

A really nice wine from the Côtes du Brian area. Great fruit and acid. Earthy. Delicious with a nice thick lamb chop. Syrah, Cab, Cinsault, Carignan, Terret, Counoise, Mourvèdre, Grenache, & the kitchen sink. I’d like to try it when it’s got a couple more years in bottle. At Watershed @ The Owl

Nice earthy and lighter bodied. Some stone and funk. But good bright fruit as well.
