This had a beautiful nose of cranberry and rose petals. The palate was interesting, it had the weight of an extracted wine without all the fruit if you get what I mean. Lots of dried flowers, dried cherries, and spice. A touch austere finishing with a nice hit of tannins. Would be interested in seeing where this would be in 5 and then 10 more years. Chiming in at 12.9 abv this falls into the AFWE camp but the weight keeps me intrigued. Beau pulled something fm both ends of the spectrum. Performed best at about 5° below room temp.

Odd combo but it works, the Pinot pumps up the flavor of the Gamay. Some sediment in last glass and it did get better on night 2.

Plummy, a little herbal, nice fine tannin, it's not "serious," just really fun and easy to drink.
