More tannin than expected... Learning about this variety and region. Well made clean low to no oak style is intriguing.

Unsure of the other notes here of "no oak". That's all I got upon opening. Winery notes aging in French oak. Day 3 the wine had mellowed. Oak integrated and the fruit was able to shine. Needs some time.

Young vines, no oak. Starts with punchy fruit but becomes lighter with soft tannins.

Blinded as a Moulin a Vent or Morgon, but with more meatiness and an interesting phenolic bitterness on the finish.

Interesting aromas of tobacco, herbs, roasted meat and cherry, with bright, red fruit and mineral flavors. Excellent balance of fruit, acid, tannin, alc (12.5% abv), and an intangible quality of "different" that will keep me going back.
