Like drinking mulled cranberry juice on a camping trip in the Sierras with friends, where everyone is happy, nothing goes wrong and the firewood never runs out. Easy-going, with woodsy spice taking precedence over (still present) sour fruits.

Light, easy drinking, subtle notes of Fruit with bits of that old world funk we've all grown to love. Definitely worth a try for you old world lovers out there.

A pleasant but unconventional Gamay. The wine has a heavier than expected body with medium tannins, which overshadow the trademark minerality typically associated with this grape.
