One of the better Noveau's I've had that didn't taste like a glass of Welch's grape juice. This pours a bright ruby red that extends right to the edge. Nose has a little of dusty cherries to it. On the palate, it's light bodied with a little funk, a little earth and tart cherry but nothing over the top, very balanced. Perfect on its own. Nice with a slight chill. Save a few bottles for summer.

Nice dusty nose, fun round fruit up front, yummy sour skin tannins of surprising length. Quite #foodish

Dec 26th, 2017This has flavor in so many layers. Rich ripe juicy fruit. Bubble gum aroma, tutti-frutti. But then butter cream body! Vibrant finish. I love it.

Oct 6th, 2016One step away from melted purple Popsicles, and yes, that's the point! Easy and a deep ruby red in the glass. Fun and delicious with our shakshuka. Honestly, drinks a bit more like a Cru Beaujolais!

May 17th, 2016Pretty much perfection. Bold berries, soft tannins, slightly dry, maybe some apricot on the finish.
