Rustic! Lots of spicy macerated dark cherry. Spice, crushed rocky gravel, a little iodine. Dry and a little elbowy in the mouth, but I like it with food. Lots of savory notes.

Pinot like with cherry flavors but a bit bigger yet without big fruit or alcohol. Sounds like a non sequitur but it isn't.

aromas of violets, wild herbs and red fruits, followed by flavors of cherry, raspberry and blackberry, along with spicy notes.

Tangy red. Tannins are subdued with a bit of air. Think this would b nice with grilled sausages.

This one has an interesting earthy depth to it. Great acidity that will work with a lot of foods. A winning structure here. Kind of unique I think.

S'okay nice paired with pasta. A fine table red but nothing distinctive to record. #amis
