First fronton and certainly not my last. Gamay meets Malbec. Bright florals and red cherries but with some gentle tannins and killer acidity. For $20 retail in NYC, fantastic value, give me a case.

100% Negrette - Syrah-like but more herbal savory sour finish - ticking all my boxes

Pepper and berry flavors. Mild funk. Maybe a substitute for a syrah or grolleau just to be different?

Spicy, blackberry flavors with a little funk going on. Real nice alternative to a syrah or a grolleau.
