Favorite new find. A plump version of Gamay. Violets, cherries, white pepper, buoyant and fun. Kill it.

Black cherry aromas, tart cherry and cranberry on the palate, light but rich, white peppery lingering tannins.

like getting out of the bath and being wrapped in a warm towel. cool, acidic, poppy on the front and then warms up into a cozy, fruity, hug on the back. i love gamay. i love this peppery little guy. can’t find too much info on the production, other than hand harvested. still like this wine a lot.
day one was the best, then i felt like it was a lot hotter.

Gamay that's right up my alley. Carbonic maceration makes this 2018 very drinkable now. Great acidity & well balanced!
