Straight to the point and delicious. Mostly on the fruit with spicy notes and some leather/musk.

A line I enjoyed from Pete Wells NYT review of a new restaurant’s wine list today: “it’s a refreshing change from the lists of those sommeliers who spend months trying to get a single bottle from some vigneron who doesn’t have a phone and rides a donkey to work.” That said, this is a natural wine but a very enjoyable one. Unabashedly fruity and pure. All well balanced with nothing poking out. Finishes nicely. Good quality for price for sure and a relatively versatile pairer.

Super delicious and to the point. Great with red meat or meaty veggies (mushrooms/ sweet potatoes).
