France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes
Toasty, almost burnt oak and pepper on the nose. Light bodied with medium acidity. Fresh, juicy red fruit, no oak noticeable on the palate. Much lighter than the rest of the lineup.
Reticent nose, powdered sugar and strawberries. Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. Fresh red strawberry fruit, nice acidity, light tannins. Best of the flight.
