Hiyu is one of the most interesting wine projects on the planet. Nate Reddy is conducting experiments with his 30 acres in Oregon that blur boundaries (like wine and cider) and genres and make you expand your concept for what is possible. The complexity of Tzum Feis is otherworldly and maybe the best winemaking I’ve seen stateside. A field blend, it has the minerality and greenness of excellent Loire Cab Franc and the graphite, cedar, and structure of Bordeaux. The aromas have candied orange peel, green bell pepper, cedar, and pencil shavings. Deep concentration and chewy well integrated tannin. Bravo.

Feis Bordeaux blend. Amazingly unique. Perfume, rocks, bramble. Palate is a lot of flowers but dense fruit berries that really balance sweet juice and tartness. There is also a fascinating herbal/tree quality. Almost like curry... interesting.
