  Beautiful wine with a soft, velvety texture that is very easy to drink while still showing red fruit, mildly bright acidity, and a rich presence alongside big flavored foods. Very long finish.

  If hedonism and experience are the driving factors of wine tasting, this rustic and powerful wine should be on a lot of wine geeks' lists. Earth, spice, white pepper, and deeply savory notes like bay leaf round out the nose. Think big flavors in the foods. Palate is gorgeously rustic, fruit-driven, seductive, and powerful. There's a bit of a saline note that keeps it bright, leading into a long and enjoyable finish. This is earth and balance together. Can't exagerate how much I'm liking this.

  At the risk of the doubters burying this - shocked. Virginia Tannat? Drinking well with balanced mild smoky fruit notes and tannins. Easily could hang for a couple more years. No hints of age.

  Another unique offering, spicey, dry, black cherries, plums, hints of old world leather and earth. This may need a couple of years in the cellar to bing out it's best!
