Exquisite gamay and Pinot noir blend that leaves little left for flavor. Cherry and strawberry aromas with some licorice and spice. Has some heat to it that is balanced by ripe fruit, plums, and candied cherry. And baking spices. Pretty light bodied but extra long finish.

Fruit-forward and light pinot/gamay blend. Totally wrong for the sauce I was making but would be great for a summer cookout

Such a perfect summer red. Fragrant, light, gobs of tangy, ripe fruit. Very refreshing, with zingy acids and only 11.5% alcohol. Bone dry finish shows chalky, limestoney minerality at the end.

This is what's up. Gamay/Pinot which in this case means ACID FUNK. Mountain Dew!

Little bit of brett funk but not too distracting for a non-brettophile. Core of sweet, ripe fruit more than holds it own. Great value.

Might have been the day but the stewed fruit and menthol came through quite a bit. Pretty cool.
