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

Sipping 2021 vintage. This is an elegant wine. Dry with tastes of black cherry & , some light spice.

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!!

Blackberries on the nose - very subtle, but nice. Very easy drinking. A little leather, pepper, a bit of a layered dark berry flavor. Enjoyed it.
