'23 Château du Cèdre Juvéniles - Just a beautiful example of new wave Cahors - fresh and juicy, tannin and extract kept lower than the old 'black wine' days, finished in concrete rather than wood. Fresh acidity gives this a lot of range at the table.

'23 Maison Stephan Grenache VdF - 1st Grenache I've seen/tried from Jean-Michel Stephane, and this is high-toned, crunchy, and favors the leaner, more structural side of Grenache. Not complex, but quite drinkable, and notably missing any baked fruit.

Tasted today:
'22 Slamdance Koöperatieve - The project aims to capture old-school, pre-prohibition California winemaking. Valdigue/Cinsault/Negrette, natural ferment, light sulfur at bottling, yadda yadda yadda. Juicy, fine, boring, overpriced. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
