Oct 30th, 2021Dense and chewy. Good heft, especially w/no oak save old founder. Whole cluster fermentation. Dark blue and black fruit, garrigue.

UPDATE: Reportedly, this is aged entirely in concrete! Thus, my oak nose note is off.

Medium purple. Very light notes of fresh raspberries on the nose. Dry with low acidity and low tannins. Light body, with notes of cooked pear and baked apple, finishing on subtle black currants. Short finish. Might need some more time in bottle to really show it's worth.
