excerpt:
“The wines seem hewn from the herby haze of the hills around them, boasting intoxicant-level scents of dried marjoram, wild figs, and juniper. They are the salt of the earth, and breathe new life into the phrase rusticity: displayed here it is beautiful, like walking into an old tavern, thick with candle smoke and the seeping smell of all things long ago. They are built for the ages, and lean themselves amicably toward the table, company, and voluminous food. ”
