Vieilles Vignes Beaujolais-Villages Gamay

Basic yet fairly classy label. Color of blood. Smells like wet leaves in the woods and cut rose-wood. Hint of cranberry perhaps. Flavors are smooth and elegant, but fresh and juicy as well. Hint of musk and plenty of black and red berry stuff. Floral as well. Red rose petals. This is a lighter French red, but it’s interesting and well suited to food.

Sour cherry, cranberry, black pepper, maybe some earth/mushroom. Juicy on the palate with red sour fruit, medium acidity and soft tannin with some spice. Tasty, crushable red.
