  Unusual blend, but makes sense to me as I got Ontario Cab Franc and Gamay mixed up as I was learning. This works nicely and leans more Gamay in style with tart, juicy fruit dancing around in the mouth, along with something a tad grittier and more serious lurking in the background. Has that 'carbonic' sensibility. A tasty and easy drinking assemblage that still feels like seriously quality wine.

  Third and last bottle had on a cloudy early summer day.
  
  On the nose: watermelon jolly rancher with a hint of cinnamon.
  
  On the palate: light juicy cherries and raspberries, the spices shine through on the finish with a really nice length.

  Pours medium to dark ruby and paired with Serrano ham.
  
  On the nose: cherries, raspberries, and a hint of dry herbs.
  
  On the palate: tart and juicy, fruits in the red spectrum with a hint of blue fruits and some very fine tannins. The cab franc shines through with the medium structure.
  
  Lovely wine from Malivoire, an interesting blend and works really well. I don't think this has more aging in it, the fruit is enjoyable!
