This was a great, and unusual, bottle of Sancerre pinot. Sweet, red fruit nose, lots of sweet oak and florals. Tasted blind, I immediately guessed Cali pinot in the new style (kutch, anthill, etc.), and was surprised to hear it was a red sancere. Great tart acidity and a nice tannic backbone. Fruit forward, but well aligned with structure. Quite good.

Mystery wine, I guessed both Loire red Cab Franc and Beaujolais, but the color of PN. Reduced, served too cold, but once it warmed up, not bad.
