Love this mineral tar granite thing. Blueberries and black fruit leather. Subtle Salumi/yogurt lactic thing. Very nice.

Gallow Green is the rooftop restaurant of the Sleep No More venue.
This grenache based on blend is juicy, plump, peppery and pleasing for immediate drinking.

Delicious wine from a rare variety planted in a very unique site in the NorCal mountains. Not expecting the multitude of happy sensations received whilst imbibing. Shared with woman life partner. She seemed to enjoy as well. Spicy cove, tobacco, expired yet indelible black pepper ever present. 15 minutes in, dark fruit core begins to show. This wine is structured. Fierce, gripping tannin grabbed me like a thief in a dark alley. I really like the seriousness of this wine esp since it hails from a very unknown areas. It's nice right now but id like to see this wine in my glass in 3 years. 13.5%.
