Winemaker Notes
You know those bubblegum, tutti fruity Gamays? This is not one. I can foresee this becoming my new easy drinking house red. “Take me to a barbeque- I want grilled meat!” it says, but it is also lovely on its own. The nose is full of cherry, black pepper, and cedar, while the palate is cherry and strawberry.
