Oh yeah baby. Gimme that Brett. Gimme that funk. Nose was like horse manure and wet dog. Palate had juicy cherry fruit, sharp acidity, and almost a prickly frizzante. Barnyard is more a well integrated nuance than a dominant trait. Still quite good.

Burger wine! Earthy and herby and tobacco-y, with homemade Memorial Day burger from the Comme Ca recipe

Nose was overwhelmingly filled with barn yard and dirty sweat socks. Thankfully that did not transition into the palate. Still quite funky and filled with tart cherries & currents. Lighter side of medium bodied. Definitely could've benefitted from decanting. Despite the funk, it was quite enjoyable. We used some semi-aged Spanish goat cheese to nosh along with it.

The 2013 is too young! Very nice start though.
