  December 26, 2023 - Such a fun wine. I think fans of Hardy Wallace's wines would dig this.

  July 11, 2023 - 80% Pineau d'Aunis / 10% Pinot Noir / 10% Gamay
  Dark ruby color, about 80% opaque with no sediment present. Very slow, lightly stained legs. Pop n pour notes. Profound nose of spicy berries, dried herbs and leather, and additional complexity that I find hard to describe. Almost like cinnamon RedHots and carnauba wax. Some eucalytpus in there, too. This will put off some people, but I kind of like it. These strong esters linger through a lengthy finish while the tannins became more evident as the bottle went down, leading me to believe even better days are a few years down the road. I don't remember ever tasting anything like this before, though it reminds me a little of Sambucca. Now I know what to pull if someone proposes, "Let's try something different". 5+11+16+8= 90

  April 30, 2023 - Initially red fruit and black pepper aromas with a bit of funk in the glass - in a short amount of time this really developed a strong herbal/ bell pepper quality - to me identical to a Loire CF/ Chinon
  Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and medium well integrated tannins with medium alcohol - average length led by red fruit and herbaceousness
  Great food wine but quite enjoyable on its own as well
  Drinking well now but 2-3 yrs of aging wouldn't hurt
  Really well crafted wine at this price

  November 21, 2021 - Snappy red and blue fruits, crunchy tannins, with medium plus acid keeping everything fresh.
  
  Definitely a food wine with plenty of herbal notes vying with the fruit. Medium bodied juice that is currently too tight, even on day three, likely 2-3 years away from the tannins being integrated.
  
  Hold and drink in 2023 or later.
