40-40-20 GSM blend Initially giving off a flat grape soda thing, very tannic and closed, very dense but good dark fruit. Deep almost violet color, totally opaque. Had Bordeaux barrel treatment. Low intervention wine making, seems to be unfiltered. As it opens up it has sasprialla/black cherry coming thru. Has a yeasty, natural wine making quality.

Fascinating wine. Tons of spiced apple, apricot, fennel, herbaceous tea-like notes. Retains nice acidity to balance it out. Definitely on the funkier side...but I love it.

Viscous, syrupy pineapple and orchard fruit with enough acid to balance it out
Beautiful honey, white pepper, subtle jalapeño zest
Complex nerdy wine
