Yes, meh. Pineau d’Arneis which we really don’t see much of in the US. Fruit was surprisingly muted for the bright acidity that went with it. Some bright red fruit, but not enough to balance out. More tannic than expected. Will let the remaining bottle sit to see if it comes together over the next few years.

big, gorgeous nose ... and lackluster palate. gained a little intensity with air, but otherwise was more about aroma than taste. nothing incredibly complex, perhaps comes across as a hypothetical blend of Gamay, PN, and Grenache

Meh. Interesting country wine at first and then too rough edged after a glass. Too much black pepper type spice. Nice raspberry, cherry, brambles.

On initial tasting thought this was a cab franc,….duh!
Opened as a late alternative for a corked bottle, uncomplicated appeal of light cherry and fresh acidity
