Ost-Intrigen Ricci Vineyard St. Laurent

Another delicious #rarecreature from the Forlorn Hope wine folks @Matthew Rorick This reminds me of a Cabernet Franc meets a Pinot Noir, purple floral and stone aromatics, with juicy fresh raspberry, cherry, a touch of savory and spice. #stlaurent

I mean I drank this and then got an offer to be an ambassador to talk about periods, so that's something.

Funky, juicy, lively, fresh and so easy to drink. Reminds me of gamay with the lightness and combination of flowers and herbs. Delicious.

Always great to try a new variety. This bottle was decent, but quite green. Almost seems like it was picked underripe, for the sake of being underripe. Being a fan of lean wines this just didn't do it for me.

Interesting wine but a little heavy on the mulch-forest/floor-earth for me! Fun wine to try and also to pair with food, on its own it's a little awkward.

violets, raspberry patch, suede, iron filings, sour cherry, plum sauce, sanguine & savory

Typical #Carneros #StLaurent. Uh, what? Light and earthy.

Another rare creature, indeed. I have yet to find a Forlorn Hope Wine that I did not like. Matthew Rorick's St Laurent is just lovely! Savory Christmas spice wrapped in a mouth watering meat-like blanket with a warm juicy plum, black tea & cracked blk pepper back note. #justcantgetenough #certifiablydelish

I like wine again.

Good stuff!
