This is actually a Clairet, an older style of Bordeaux midway between a red and a rosé. Unique because the estate is certified biodynamic and also practices natural winemaking. It is in Montagne st. Emilion. The wine is Merlot/Cabernet Franc and is delicious. This is a chillable summer red that drinks way too easy. Tart strawberry, raspberry with a little earth and spice thrown in.
