Deep purple. Blackberry pie filing, dark fruits and hints of barn yard on the nose. Tart, snappy acidity. Not overly fruit forward or tannic. Unripe blueberry. Fun, nat wine. Would complement a mellow cheese or a peppery cured meat.

Absolutely delicious. Lots of dark blueberries and blackberries, some grape and some earthiness on the finish with hints of mushroom and briney olive.

Funky fresh pizzazz this deceptively complex wine. One I could drink on the reg. Alive and full of character. Well balanced. Medium acidity, loose tannins, medium bodied that errs on the lighter side. Earth and berry twist. Might as well get your disco ball out

The Jauma lineup is a rainbow spectrum of bright colored, hazy, unfiltered wines with creative labels, beer cap tops (even for still wines) and lots of internet cacheā€™. The Shiraz based Disco Special is my favorite of the group and comes in a recycled 750ml beer bottle. It is the least juicy of the bunch and has a layered bouquet of beautiful sour red berries with high acid tones, minerals, and green herbs. Lots of zippy acidity is delivered via flavors of sour cherries and lingonberry. The texture is supple and soft and rounds out the acid. Itā€™s true to the Natural Wine profile, where I tread with caution. But it is delicate, balanced, and free of excessive funk, juice, and crunch.

Natural wine. Funky Northern Rhone style Shiraz, with a bit of Grenache.
