Bit of funk and Earth to start things off, which settles down with surprisingly ripe fruit underneath. Raspberries and stewed cherry cola cloves. Reminds me a little of some Oregon pinots. Medium - body higher acid. Slight bitterness on the finish. Medium+ finish. This is nice just a touch too ripe

12.5% abv. I keep going back for more... always a good sign. Funky and interesting nose. Touch of sulphur initially, blowing off into a nose of smoke, cola and sandalwood. NOT fruity.. A bit of nail polish as well, but not offensive. In the mouth, it is long. Acidity is nice with slight tartness. Tannins subtle but present. My first Loire pinot - fabulous!

Great acidity with light tannins. Excellent food wine with a little sour cherry (a little too sour?). Has some earthiness to it. Good value food wine.

funky chemical nose, but interesting at the same time.
