A lightly sparkling red blend of Blaufrankisch, Zweigelt, and Pinot Noir grapes, Sanctum “Stix & Bugs” Piquette bears a beer-bottle style crown cap. Hazy rosy-orange in color, it pours with a thick pinkish foam. Served cold, it seems simple and fresh, strawberry scents with a touch of damp clay. As it warms in the glass it becomes much more complex, adding notes of yeast and dairy and a leafy, vegetal whiff of the forest floor. A good pick for summer sipping.
