Time to try something new with a label from the way-back machine
Malivoire 2020 Demo Series Analog
($27.95 - available at the winery and online)
These are “hand labeled” / “handwritten” wines (at least the first one was) ... But the gimmick is to make you feel that you really are truly a drinking a demo wine (like a demo tape, remember those?) complete with crossed out words and augmented hand-written lettering (like doodles). This co-fermented and aged Cabernet Franc and Gamay is done in ceramic and old barrels so as not to impart too much into the wine. There's a juiciness to those red berries (Gamay - 27%) but also hints of tobacco (Cabernet Franc - 73%) ... It's very simple and really enjoyable. A beauty to chill and perfect for Christmas dinner or just sipping on the patio in the late fall weather. Price: $27.95 – Rating: ****
