Co-fermented field blend from a veritable library vineyard planted in 1905 (get it?) in Minervois. Fresh, juicy fun that could be served chilled. Vin de soif.

23 varietals. Robust, complex, with a spicy finish. Probably a challenge to discern for expert sommeliers.

Awesome nose is fruity, earthy and a bit danky. Aromas of quinine, strawberry licorice, black olives, milk chocolate, almonds and sweaty socks. Body is lighter than it smells, flavors of strawberries and tart cherries with acidic cranberry juice. Crazy amazing finish of cranberries and chocolate covered almonds. Will be great in the spring with a slight chill.

Red fruit, little satsuma, gentle tannins that linger. Overall lively, fun, and an interesting story (field blend of 23 varietals). Good everyday
