Community Tasting Note

  August 9, 2020 - Dark purple in the glass.
  Pronounced and large bubbles with overt aromas of earth, funk, and purple fruits. Still quite fresh and vibrant for being 11 years old, the juice is acidic and cutting on the front before segueing into bitter and earthy roasted beets, dark ripe plums and plum skins, along with just touch of fresh tarragon on the back end with the finish.
  
  I can certainly see why this is not everyone’s favorite drink, but the Pineau D’Aunis comes across like a dry and serious Lambrusco.
  
  If you like that idea, you’ll likely enjoy this wine quite a bit.
  Based on this bottle, I found it to be a pleasant and frothy, dry, funky food wine and would gladly have purchased more of it to drink over the next couple of years or more.
