Funny that the local Berkshires seller thought it was “fruity”. I love this wine. I found it buoyant, yes some black currant s forward but , fine, grainy and cru Beaujolais worthy moderate tannins in the background. Lovely, delicious. 35% gamay/35 cot/30 Pinot Noir. Mary Taylor import

35% Gamay, 35% Malbec, 30% Pinot Noir
Rich red and black fruit aromas (cherry blackcurrant per the label) and undertones of flintiness. A rich body with tart cherry acidity, ripe blackberries, a lot of spices and flinty minerals to give it a dark side. Yum!!!

2022 vintage - lean yet mouth-filling, good all-around package.

A tasty blend of gamay, cot, and Pinot noir. The fruit of the gamay is well balanced by the other two in a flavorful but slightly dry blend. We had it with spicy jerk chicken.

Very cherry nose, with a hint of tar. Loads of cherry on the palate. Mix of bright fruit notes, but also earthy, coffee notes. Low tannins and silky smooth. Nice solid earthiness. Good stuff!!
