Funkadelic nose with massive new car smell, beef, barn and touch of Brett. Palate was big and meaty as well, with some hard cherry and dry earn. Almost like a pommard on steroids.

Appearance: Medium ruby, bright, clear rim, M+ visc. Nose: Ripe red fruit, blackberry, red roses, stemminess, baking spice, rocky minerality. Probably some NFO here, 20-30%. Palate: Bright red fruit on the attack, secondary punch of rocky earth and darker berries. More pronounced oak (may be up to 50% NFO?) M+ acid, M gentle tannin, M+ body, M+ alcohol (14%?). Long finish, balanced and M complex. A real one-two punch on the palate. Pair with roasted turkey or braised pork, mushrooms and leeks.
