Off Color Blackberry Fox in the Snow

Fox in the Snow is our foedre aged kriek. This year we wanted to change things up a little replacing cherries with blackberries. (Does that make it a blackberry kriek? Not really sure of the nomenclature) Whatever you call it, 10 months in foedre and a further two aging on blackberries lends an auburn hue, vibrant fruit, and tannic, seedlike profile. Pleasantly in tandem is a wild complexity, balanced acidity and round, deep vinous notes from the foedre itself. We’ve been sitting on these bottles as they condition for a while but now that we’re all inside for the foreseeable future it seems like a good time to think about the outside and honor of these wily, untamed forest princes.
