Aroma of wild blackberries. Light, bubblegum, cranberry, fresh violets. Such a interesting wine.

Simple, unoaked and delicious simple red. Has a confected Wild fruit character that takes me to southern rhone - but without the booze.

Gulpable and a great accompaniment to Szechuan take out. Sweet ripe berries on the nose, with a whiff of wet soil and some spice. Uber soft palate, with ripe fruit, some clean minerality, and nice but subtle acidity. Thirst quenching!

Cab franc is also in there for 2015. This is cement vinified with native yeast only. And for $13... amazing.

Fruity and easy nose with black and red fruit dominating. Some game notes. Palate did not match the nose. Strong tannins and sour red fruit. Dry on mid palate and finish. #domainedeshautsbaigneux #azaylerideau #loirevalley #grolleau #gamay #ctbucklinwine
