"A sleek, fresh and savory Bordeaux blend of 59% cabernet franc, 31% merlot and 10% cabernet sauvignon. Iodine, mulberries, blackberries, currants and bell peppers. It's silky and medium-bodied with a peppery finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"Instantly impressive in the glass, the 2021 Flying Pig, made from a blend of 59% Cabernet Franc, 31% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, bursts from the glass with seductive notes of black cherry skin, dusty plums and notes of dried herbs and turned earth. Medium-bodied yet round and succulent, the palate explodes with energy and a beautiful balance between dark fruit skin and earth. A food-friendly, tannic grip holds through the long, lingering, ever-evolving finish that has me coming back for more. The wine rested a year and a half in 30% new and neutral French oak barrels. Just under 2,500 bottles were produced."
