What a unique blend! Cherry and cranberry grace your palate. But it's slightly inky on the nose. Fresh and tingly tannins. At first, funky but it blows of to total drink ability.

Light, spicy berry tart; baking spices but super playful body

I really love this bottling. Always ends up in my cart at the co-op. Wish more LGT wines were available in Norcal.

Second bottle, second rustic charmer. Gamay exuberance meets Bdx-family structure & funk. Brett & VA are not shy.

Exactly what I'm looking for from this appellation; bright, energetic, fresh, and still perfectly rustic and dirty.

Very light. Just a tad bit funky. Would go great with a light meal...

Fails to be comprehensive, but I like what is there. Brisk gamay, some funky and vegetal cab franc and tannin for days

Peppery, but not spicy. Mellow, reminders of gamay, but tough to pin down (not AOC?). Tequila on the nose!

Juicy and delicious. On the lighter side.
