Made from old vines using organic, low-intervention practices, this wine undergoes native yeast fermentation with low sulfites and is bottled unfined and unfiltered. The nose is expressive and smoky, with raspberry jam, cherry coulis, roses, flint, and savory notes of hickory smoke, asphalt, and tar. Juicy, jammy, and wonderfully drinkable, it is a vibrant chillable red with a savory edge. Pair this wine with grilled or charred ribeye with morel mushrooms, or charred asparagus with mint.
