Has a nice barrel note, maybe a touch of butyric. Cranberry, light berry, currants, not sure about the fermentation...the fruit might have been bit wonky. So this one didn't really work for me.

375mL bottle, pours a beautiful dark pinkish purple with a tiny pink bubbly head. Aroma is like dry blueberry wine, with lots of musty blueberry wine, dusty red grape skins, and a little wood. Flavour is exquisite, with lots of intense dry blueberries upfront, followed by some vinous notes, and wood. Lots of dry blueberries that are beautifully expressed. Lovely.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Nose is full of eggy farts - oh man, that's like the sulphur-laced water you smell in Iceland - not much else. Flavour is quite acetic, with lots of musty wine grapes, with wild yeast and wood. Fairly vinous and acetic, but it works pretty well. Unusual, but it does come together if you let it.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is quite floral and soapy, with gentle white wine notes, earthy notes, and a touch of wood. Flavour is very strange, with a herbal, soapy character upfront that ends up dominating, followed by gentle white wine, gentle tartness, and a little wild character. That soapy, herbal character isn't so pleasing to my palate, but I can appreciate the intent. Not bad.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is quite earthy - the cherries aren't very noticeable, nor is the wine, but there is some gentle tartness and wild character. Flavour is quite different, with tons of the Montmorency cherries revealing themselves upfront, accentuated by gentle vinous and woody notes, and an earthy, musty, grape skin character. Those cherries provide more proof of their top quality. Lovely.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a hazy bright red with a small pink head. Aroma is loaded with tart cranberries and currants upfront, with red wine and a tiny hint of the tequila. Flavour is dynamic and complex, with lots of tart currants and cranberries, accentuated well with the red wine barrels and a subtler expression from the tequila. Pleasantly tart, with a dry but dynamic mouthfeel. This is excellent.
