“The nose is slightly reserved but shows pretty violet lift. Black plum skin, ripe blackberry and an undertone of charcoal hit the palate. Suave, elegant and seamlessly balanced, this beauty delivers an easy drinkability. The tannins are supple and smooth, the oak is discreet - letting the fruit shine through, and the acidity lifts with an almost invisible hand. Mulberries fill the lingering, lightly minerally finish. Masterful. Plus, I love the wine's name, "Elegant Microbes of the Earth", which in Latin sounds fancy yet in English might make you wonder if you should pour it into your glass. (Yes, you should!)”

“A layered and very soft red with checked yet unctuous tannins. Full body and caressing texture. Plenty of meat, earth and decadent notes. Great finish. A joy to taste.”
