  Thick bananasmoothie purple-orange-pink. Obviously little filtering, and opposite amounts of sediment. Smelled like dried sour cherries with a smokey and spicy touch, added chalk and sour beer tartness. This vintage still drank very well. Taste was again prominently sour, much like well crafted sour beers including their pleasant and often tea-like bitterness. Tart, fruity, strange, orange-natural, fun and very likeable Pheasant's Tears style Georgian. An acquired taste, of course, but by no means among the most intense experiences thereof.

  Label says rose wine, probably to differentiate it from the other field blend with the same designation from this producer?
  A "natty" field blend of over 126 different variaties. Native yeast and acetetic acid are at the forefront. Made me think of the Wilde Farm Bedrock Vineyard bottlings.12.5% ABV.
  88-89

  Color of cranberry juice. Like its origin suggests, it tastes like a chameleon - initially started like reductive natural Alsace pinot (cherry, strawberry, and dusty earthiness), with almost gewurztraminer-like mid-palate consisting of marmalade and lychee, followed by cranberry-juice and cola aftertaste. I enjoyed it on day 1, but I got a bad headache (not sure if caused by this wine or not) on day 2-4, and after I got back to this wine on day 5, it was converted into muddy medicinal taste reminiscent of cough drop and ginger powder. Not rated.
