Languedoc Roussillon, France
McCarthy & Schiering, $21
Translucent red in the glass, you could probably convince me it was a rosé it's so light. Surprisingly full bouquet of tart red berries, rubber, and a peppery bite. Very light and delicate, mainly tart cranberry with a touch of cream. At first I was underwhelmed, feeling like it just tasted of watered down cranberry juice, but the more I tasted the more I appreciated just how damn well balanced it is. Bright beautiful bouquet, just enough acidity, delicate secondary flavor notes dancing around the light cranberry/cherry, and just enough tannins to give texture and something to think about on the finish. Dangerously gulpable. If it was under $15 I'd completely stock up, but it is still a great experience at the $21 I paid

Nov 14th, 2021i think the guy at wine hut told me this was mostly gamay. really drinkable hot weather red wine. is it a sin to drink it from an insulated cup to keep it cold? pretty hot wine not super fruity but very light.
