Description

The darkest red oak from the ’80s paired up with the darkest savoyed leaf from 20 years later…‘Mascara’ x ‘Pinot.’ What took so long? There are so many shades beyond the red in here, and the leaf textures combine oak and ruffling and savoy and crisping in a hundred ways. These are full sized heads of looseleaf and oak types, describable as “wino violetto” to “21st century fire”…so many names come to mind. Farm Original Variety!
