Funk on the front. Smooth thick fruit mix in on the back. Relatively great deal and generous pours at Somm wine bar east midtown.

Soulful, wild, delicious Carignan/Syrah/Grenache blend. Violet and cinnamon potpourri, dried herbs, juicy plum and blackberry. Awesome

Stunningly pure and varietal/terroir driven wine. This is quite characterful with blackberry, kirsch, then sweet mint, garrigue, licorice and violets highlight the fruit. An expressive nose, the aromatics are deep and layered. The palate flavors are similarly expressive and layered with med acidity, medium+ tannin and a crazy long finish. **$20** #faugeres #carignan

Barnyard funk, hay, and leather on the nose. Super dense dark fruit, but a quick, light finish.

Delicious! Dark fruit with a little funk, very smooth. Definitely grab a couple bottles if I see it again.
