    Swick fans, you should grab this one, especially if you’re loving chilled reds. This usually has 20 days of whole cluster ferment and is aged in the concrete egg for eight months. But this vintage he had to let it go for ten more days because the wine just didn’t deepen in color. Go figure. But the flavor? The rose and cherry? That’s all there. It’s kind of delicious, with an emphasis on a sweet tart-like acidity.
