Nice. I think this 2022 would have benefited from another couple years in bottle. No notes right now, just a reminder to myself this was a fun wine.

Every vintage is good, this one slightly less than last year, but love it either way!!

Nose assaults with pink grapefruit rind, pungent berry, crushed stone. Lively and cleansing in the mouth. I love Ruche. Great accompaniment to my brother’s spinach tagliatelle with meat sauce.

All the black pepper, rose petals and a touch of brett. It reminded me of a Loire Cab Franc. Which is to say: awesome.

Absolutely divine, peppery with a hint of dark cherry nose. Earth undertones

My kind of wine. Tiny indigenous grape no one has heard of and just so pretty. Violets, subtle perfume and maybe pepper. Good grief I want more
