Beautiful ruby coloration, with a thin frothy carb that quickly recedes into the seltzery body of the beer.
The nose opens up with grape must, plum skins, and a mildly cheesy funk. There’s an underlying sweetness of red berries, but a clear predominance of bright acid and present funk.
The palate shows a lot more restraint than the nose. Dry & oak-heavy, with a touch of pucker and grape skins on the finish. The Pinot Noir grapes really feature as I continue to sip, but noticeably softer.
Dry, tannic, & seltzery. Even with that bubbly carb and tannic dryness it still has a soft approach, and finishes with a touch of warmth on the tail. The barrel fermentation qualities really come on strong, increasingly so with time in the glass.
