Distinctly Carignan, but seemingly dissonant wine. Fruit is clean and crystalline, bright and spicy with nice leanness, but the tannins feel gritty and green. Close but no cigar

Pretty fruit and florals up front countered by dirt and spice on the finish. Nice acid.

Easy to drink, low alcohol, cherry notes but not too fruity. Would definitely buy again
