What Our Editors Thought
“A touch of berry plays against an aged balsamic note in the aroma. Strong acidity feels unbalanced in today’s context, but the fruit character remains compelling.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Dark fruit notes of raspberry, blackberry, and currants meld with oak and funk; earthy fruit enhances the wild fermentation character. Assertively acetic on the sip, but stone fruit emerges for a nice counterpoint. Pleasant tannins.”
What the Brewers Say
“Aged in pinot noir barrels, infused with whole organic black currants.”
