Though it may be fashionable now, to poo-poo on natural wines (no pun intended), I liked this quite a bit. The color was off-putting (think murky and purple-grey), but most people who had it blind thought it was Poulsard. It had that light weight body of a Jura red. Tasting though, I got figs and lavender. Good acid. I would not say I like All natural wines, but I do like the ones that taste good. 2012.

This is drinking crazy good now. And I have a feeling it will for years to come. So tasty and drinkable, hard to not hoard it and not share!

I could drink this by the gallon. It's thick and juicy yet super mellow and easy drinking. A great expression of Mourvèdre.
