So, are you feeling lucky? That phrase goes thru my head every time I think about buying a natural wine. But, Radikon is one of the top producers and his Merlots have been amazing. This one is 75% Merlot and 25% Pignolo aged on its skins for 15 day and in oak for 3 years without much intervention. I just hope the kitchen sink enjoyed it as i poured it down the drain! Consumed over three days, just to punish myself. Purple in color, opaque and flat. The nose was a cross been a failed high school science experiment and the back room of a butcher shop. The palate was much more chemical than animal. More like shower drain cleaner mixed with soap. There was a faint bit of soap. I paid $36 for this bottle and while I am sure it was great at the winery, this wine is a crap shoot. It will only be as good as the worst place/temperature it was stored. Nice label though.
