Exactly what I wanted this to be- funky, feral, cab franc- bret-y, barnyard, and grassy, with a deep berry core. Was perfect from a 2001 magnum at an outdoor brunch on a warm CA day. Uber-natural winemaking, on the edge of what I can classify as "enjoyable"

One of the cleanest bottlings I've had from Lenoir. More med/light-bodied with great acid and a touch of pyrazine.

2001 vintage. Cleanest bottle of Lenoir I've had. Youthful, vibrant, and earthy with some charred green peeper notes.

Nose is a bit vegetal. Palate is nice. Cherry fruit. Good acidity. Good internal aromatics. Some mint? Nice texture. Nice finish.

Nearing the end of my Lenoir stock and didn't take advantage of my time in the Loire to pay him a visit. Shame on me!
