Holy smokes this was outstanding. 100% Pinot Noir from Jura in this Vin de France. Herbal and savory but with this black cherry and menthol thing going on. Too much acidity could easily kill this but so well balanced.

Reallly spicy, but not peppery, with delicious forward cranberries, and then a velvety mid-palate with an almost dry, not tannic, but definitely lingering. The nose is floral and string, but also the word purple comes to pond, and I almost want to use the description of violet for both the nose and the mid-palate/finish? Very different, but delicious! The color is also surprisingly translucent and pale for the bold flavor.

Grapes from Nuits-Saint-Georges, vinified in Jura. Burgundy, but not.
