Burgundy-like bubblegum notes on the nose. Light and zippy, reminding first and foremost of slightly carbonated cranberry juice, but with the acidic complexity of a great lambic, tinged with hay, ginger, forest floor, light warm spice and wild raspberries. Extraordinarily floral, offering up a strong bouquet of cut tulips, violets, and lilies. Delicious and eye-openingly singular.

Very interesting! Like and Pinot like. Very fruity and Beaujolais like with a slight popcorn finish. Very obscure grape from one of my favorite regions. Nice pickup. I'll have to get more and implement this to the summer rotation for a light red option for warm weather.
