Glorious bottle. Nose has a tiny bit of funk but glorious cherry fruit, soil tones, mineral, minty, menthol, gloriously fresh, deep, silky, velvety, crushing acidity but gentle as well. Savory, umami on the finish. Finishes so mineral. Tasting granite.

Wow. Delicious. So fresh. Bright bright cherries. Exploding cherry cough syrup on the palate. Hint of earth. But mostly excellent.

A bit of funk. But it’s worth it.


Fresh. Blackberries. Licorice. Wow.
