Not often we have this. As @Carl Fischer suggested, its style straddles Napa and Bordeaux. Soft oak and maraschino cherries on the nose. The palate is nuanced, delineated and textured. Subtle blueberries mix with a hint of roasted coffee beans. A beautiful example that was elbowed out of the limelight by other great wines. Thank you @Carl Fischer for sharing this beauty. — 7 years ago

T.A. Returns to S.D. 7/7/2018: such an interesting, but now defunct project from a group who tried to bring some old vineyards in the far southwestern region of France into the limelight. This one is Grenache Gris and Carignane Blanc. The wine geeks in attendance enjoyed this one. — 7 years ago

I had saved this to share with my winemaker friend, Leah Jorgensen, as I wondered how Cab Franc-esque this would show. Plums & pomegranates, hints of orange skin. Juicy once some air got to it; smooth stepping and delightful to see Nerello Cappuccio in the limelight. Cellar potential or enjoy with good friends for a lasting memory. — 10 years ago

With no wax along the neck I know what kind of BG will be imbibed...At least I thought I knew, but a light, wafted air flutter rolls over your tongue, like a strawberry hued wave about to crest.
The nose had a little funk at first. Steely underripe strawberry dominates the nose thereafter. The palate expands on muted strawberries with cran and rasp vying for their chance to share the limelight. Hints of lime peel and tart, green apple. Spice from the French oak fermentation and inherent, earthy Pinot Noir varietal characteristics tie together a fiery connotation. Interesting and enjoyable. — 9 years ago

Refreshing Pegau Rosé with a stunning rosey-peach hue and aroma. Very fine and delicate mouthfeel with incredible acididity. The finish is quite notable because the spicy minerality lingers & has a warming alcoholic effect. I really enjoy this wine because it's relaxing to drink but it is also quite passive and doesn't try to steal the limelight. — 11 years ago
