bought this barrel and customized the label art. super lean with a little oxidation. cranberry, clementine, panettone, mushroom. putting a sabot in the concept of merlot.

Found this in the back bottom of my wine racks. Figured might as well open it up—love the lost bottle stories. Still good! A small, zero frills, family operation with real honest people making decent wine. Bought this over 10 years ago and I remember why. Great weeknight red for a super QPR. A little one note w cranberry, rhubarb?, and strong acidity.
