A wafty nose of avocado seed, blackberry juice.

This is a light to medium bodied Rhône, with ripe alpine fruit, crushed petals, gravel, red and black fruits, juicy.
Not sweet juicy, juicy as in sugar free mouth filling juice. This is a set summer wine, ending it’s finish in a tamarind acid.
Easy price, easy wine.

Big bold, meaty and spicy aromatics. Bright red fruits and subtle tannins. Delicious red strawberries and quite silly.

50Grenache/50Syrah. Rose petals, strawberry, salted watermelon on the nose. Very thin on the palate initially, with heavy grapefruit, finishing with nice acidity. Very enjoyable.

Light and dry / perfect for sitting around and watching Bravo & E. Slight effervescent carb / enjoyable when cold. After a bottle or two maybe start some gossip...

Weirdo CDR with popcorn toasty notes and a slight meatiness behind the red fruit.

A bit rustic but in a good way, lots of flavor and terroir. Not light and esoteric like some higher priced Provençal rose’. Quaffable but still interesting.
