Nov 17th, 2019Tasted at Ruffian, a Mecca for Godforsaken Grapes, at the launch of Jason Wilson's new book. Apparently this isn't a Cab Franc but something much more unusual. Think Cab Franc done and you're pretty much there though. Bright red fruits, touch of earth and wet leaves, plenty of acidity. Tastes hipster to me.

Apr 24th, 2018Crisp acidity on entry, earthy, wild berried, slight tobacco-like green tannins, lighter bodied and immensely refreshing at 12.5ABV.

Feb 18th, 2018Wet leaves and BO (BO you'd still cuddle with) on the nose. Somehow this isn't a CabFranc, but I still think they're full of shit. Buy it, it's weird.

The grape is Fer Servadou.
Light bodied, with sweet tart like flavor and feeling. A bit lively and enjoyably delicious mouthfeel of cherry leather, mojito mint.
A unique and tasty tipple.
