Geyer Wine Co. Rouge 2023

A snapshot of 3 vintages – 2018, 2019, 2020 - This has bags of wild strawberry sour cherry with a meaty whiff. It is tight, with mouth-coating tannins that are evened out by racy, tart acidity. This is a natural wine that is on the right side of funk.

Winemaking:

• Pinot Meunier was to bring the density, intensity, and structure from 2018 – a vintage of small berries and high extraction.
• Sémillon from 2019 was a 100% whole bunch carbonic and aids in a fruity lighter nose bunch also adding weight through the palate.
• Cabernet Franc from 2020 was on skins for 4 days and then fermented in a ceramic egg for the roundness of acid and complexity.
• Separately aged in barrels and blended just before bottling.
