Probably few will read this review. 19 years after winemaker Robert Brittan crafted this field blend, this brooding, dark example of saturated black fruits, dense texture and chocolate goodness is still humming. Bought upon release, this wine is remiscent of the garrigue in the Rhône; magical stuff from the musical winemaker who used to play his French horn in the wine cellar!

This one was my fault. Completely lost track of it. We were several years late to the party when we opened this one recently. Highly acidic with completely subdued remnants of what must have been flavorful fruit and spice. Shame. Don't forget to drink your wines!

Still bright fruits, but tannins are gone. Good, but would have been better a couple of years ago.
