Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2021 “Dionysos” pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, violets, horse blanket, poblano pepper, graphite and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Fresh, funky, delicious Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2031.

Blackberries, green bell pepper skin, pencil shavings, white pepper, game, balsamic. Acid driven balanced out by minimal dusty tannins, light/medium bodied, juicy/slightly silky texture, peppery finish. Great biodynamic producer, pairs with just about everything.
