Definitely rustic in style, this wine is dominated by an earthy nose and chewy tannins on the finish. Some plum and blackberry poke through, some garrigue on the nose. Very well balanced with good acidity. Definitely enjoyable, and given the structure I think it could age for a few years yet.

This paired absolutely perfectly with some Memphis style ribs. It had the acidity and sweetness to hold up. One of the best food wines I've had from U.S. soil.

Medium red color with a great nose of purple fruit. Creamy mouthfeel of blackberry. Surprisingly prickly in a good way. Nice sharp fruit with a little heat.
Overall a fun wine.

Maybe it was the style or the varietals, but this was just so-so for me.

Peppery, dark, dry, balanced, not that fruity. A little soury.
