A touch more elegant than Kermit’s Corbieres at this price point

This sort of wine is the reason I started paying attention to wine in the first place. Some might call it rustic, but this wine takes the imagination far beyond fermented grapes into epic storytelling. And it's cheap.

Wow! Straight up raw, purple ink. Opened up nicely with a little time. Dark, funky fruit and tobacco. Needs a substantial meal, to really shine.

WHOA! That stink! This is the definition of rustic. Long maceration period to extracts very powerful fruit surrounded by wild game and farm house aromas. The wine doesn't see oak which keeps the acid there. Full bodied and extremely expressive.

Crazy wine. Funky but interesting. Hard to put down and even harder to understand

"I don't know whether I should drink or pet this". Wild wine, made in a homestead by what some might call hippies.

Such a great value wine! Perfect for the fall with warm spices and deep red fruit.
