Fruity and a bit floral, with a freshness that keeps me sipping. Enough tannin to grab hold of grilled food, nicely but overall a very bright, acid driven wine. A good chill makes it really pop. #glou 🍒🍉🌞

Red blend that reminded me of pinot noir. Good but not great. I much prefer the rosé of this vintage. Might be better with more aeration.

Tasty red blend with high acidity and medium tannins. Reminds me of smelling into a bag of cherries. 🍒
