Intensely floral notes of rose petal give way to huckleberry and blueberry. Subtle herbal notes suggesting whole cluster. Great POP of acid lifts the whole package. Excellent summer red.

Really fun wine! Carbonic Gamay with some whole cluster Pinot. Floral and fruity with herbs.

Doesn't hold a candle to Bow & Arrow's Rhinestone of a similar blend. Started to show a bit of character after a day on the counter, so maybe some time in the bottle will add depth.

VA dominates the nose, though there's some nice whole-cluster notes underneath. Tart and a bit lean. Not as good as their Cab Francs.

Not a fan. Seemed like the gamay and pinot were having a slugfest. Very tannic.

Traffic coming home from work was shit, took me an hour and half, so glugged this bottle down in about 45 minutes when I finally got home. Paired well the Dr. Octagon pandora station.

If you like to try different wines try this. Nice balance and a good balance of acid.
