Funk for days, some effervescence on the palate. Earthy and well-fruited / super fun

I drank this during the election and cried the whole time and was very grateful for its company.

A good amount of funk when first opened, blew off after some time in the glass thankfully. Tons of red berry fruit on the nose and palate. Silky tannins complimented by bright acidity and a touch of effervescense. Went down quick.

Fascinating wine, after the requisite decanting, required by many "natural" wines to blow off the prickly funk, a silky suave core emerged, a touch smoky, vibrant, classy, like a sensual 1940s film diva. And crushable at 11.5 ABV.

Wow. Wasn't expecting this. Bought at the request of Melissa's friend Dara. Smooth. Velvety. Bit of spice. Drink on a weeknight.
