Aug 29th, 2013Co-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.

Jul 16th, 201623 varietals. Robust, complex, with a spicy finish. Probably a challenge to discern for expert sommeliers.

Dec 21st, 2015Awesome 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.
