Bright red fruit and Brett - ideal Szechuan accompaniment.

Funky and elegant. Reminds me of Foillard with less structure, and more pepper.

Just about everything I want in a red wine. Acid, terroir, value, glou-glou-bility. Delicious.

Holy Brett-bomb, Batman. That's what I thought at first at least. It really took some time to open up and balance out. Fans of natural, dirty, cab franc(I'm one) should check it out. Cherries, florals, and dirt(and brett)

Some pretty floral aromas, and a note of raspberry and smoked meat, but too much Brett. From a Brett fan, this is too much.
