Retail $25. Varietal composition? Troon has been making iterations of this wine for some time now, through changes in the winemaking team and management. Try as I might, I could not find much info on the varieties or methods used to create this juicy bit of wonderment, but the wine is a delight. Clearly, the fruit is the story and it has a very Beaujolais aspect to it: tons of fruit, more than ample acidity, and a reasonable price. What more do you want? Works on the patio, with dinner, or perusing Netflix. A ton of fun.
I think this is well made, but right now it is very primary with lots of juicy fruit on the palate. There are some tannins too that perhaps would mellow over the next year to make the wine more round and less edgy.

Deep ruby color. Gamay-esque goodness on the nose, so floral and accessible, gushing with strawberries and cherries, along with rose petals, potting soil, clay and potpourri tones. Zesty and brisk acidity, with dusty tannins and a bright feel. Juicy strawberries, cherries and raspberries, laced with deep violets, sage, some pepper and light roast coffee. This wine is all about the mouthfeel and vibe, which is fresh, inviting and delightful.
