Funky and savory ... not clean but I dig this style. A ton of earth and cranberry bog.

I've had this wine when it tasted a little funky but good. This one was liquid band aids. Pure Brett and nothing else

beautiful Cabernet franc. so earthy. I don't care if "earthy" means that there are faults. the total taste was so balanced and elegant and dirty, and it opened up perfectly. decanted.

Definitely need some air and we chose to another wine by the glass as we gave the bottle some time. Strong core of red fruit and earthy flavors. Despite the age on the bottle it was still drinking young .

A beautiful example of what a natural wine can be. Earthy forest, green peppers and pine. Both interesting and delicious. Hard to stop drinking. Thanks J&C!
