Natural wine from a husband and wife team who quit their day jobs to work these old vines and make wine naturally in Faugeres. These two reds are clean, fresh and easy drinking with one showing a fruiter side and the other showing off a savory mineral note. Both are nice with a little chill, but can go either way. Here are the details:
Sur Les Zinc! 2020 $22 Mostly Syrah fermented whole cluster carbonic with some free-run Carignan juice thrown in and aged all in steel. This is savory and lean with wet rocks, peppery black olives and wild dark red and blue fruit. Perfect for anything that comes with fries.
Cricri d'Amour 2019 $28 This is Grenache and Cinsault from a single old plot owned by Chloe and Fred's friend Christiane (pictured on the label) who (illegally) opened the first gay club in Montpellier in the 70s. Like Christiane, this wine is wild and fun with round blackberry fruit and a juicy lipsmacking finish, perfect for something spicy or maybe as the one more bottle that you probably shouldn't open at the end of a long night.
