Unripe strawberry, raspberry and pomegranate both on the nose and palate. Slightly steamy. Racy acidity, light to medium body, med tannin, clean and refreshing. Showing the best of the fruit notes. 70% Gamay 30 % Pinot noir. Organic wine

this little number hits all the right early fall notes. drank it over the course of three nights (weird) and it just became increasingly silky, juicy and dear. bouncy cranberries & red cherries. 70% gamay/ 30% pinot noir.

So rich and yummy! Tons of blueberry and plum. The alcohol is deceptively higher than the palate would suggest so be careful ;)
