Only the 6th vintage of this exciting wine made of Trousseau grapes (aka Bastardo) which is for example used in port. Cloudy, viscous, rather dark color; pinot noir-like nose with added selleri, te leaves, and vanillin; red-fruity and sumptuous on the palate, great midpalate and finish, and with a kick from the respectable acid levels. Yes, it is light bodied and juicy; but Yes it is delicious. Best I can put it: a mix between a Julienas gamay, a NZ pinot noir, and a dash of cool aid. Had with Danish Vesterhavs-cheese, lomo iberico and green tomato marmelade.

It’s almost as if Beaujolais and Champagne (the sour and creamy mouthfeel of a champagne) had a lovechild. Trousseau is a grape originated in Jura, France. This is a super food friendly wine, but I am drinking without food and it’s very easy finish a bottle on your own…

Juicy and delicious little Trousseau from Ballard Canyon, Cali. Grounded in ripe, red fruited-New World goodness on the palate but offers a salutatory wink and a nod to the Jura for its earthy and funky nose. It’s just an enjoyable, fun glass of wine.
