Check out the explication of brett by following the link above to De Long’s Wine Info. It’s an excellent treatment of a complex subject – the love, hate and shades in between of brettanomyces.

[...] the New World, Ray Johnson didn’t: The nose combines the rugged side of wine-love, with horse blanket, cheese and ripe berry fruit. [...]

Hi AJ, Yes, this wine is just too rustic for most consumers of New World wine. What is disappointing is that it doesn’t have to be such a brett bomb. Cedre has a great reputation but this wine is not in that league.

Ditto on the tannins, mouthcoating and chalky. Blackfruit, licorice and brett. I see you’ve been exploring in southeast France. I’ll be trying a few of the wines you noted in the near future.
