Dang this is good. It is so subtle for the region, even more so for the vintage. Nose bramble, raspberry, a bit of tea. Palate is full of acid driven fresh fruit tea and mineral depth. No signs of jam or oak. This reminds of old time gigondas. So good.

As with past comments and with what others note--thoroughly enjoyable wine, great with food, great on its own--lovely fruit, good balance, crisp with decent weight and outstanding qpr.

Served slightly chilled on a hot evening. Delicious, crisp fruit with light tannin bite, nice blend. Great stuff, nice alternative to beaujolais or various rose.

Red and hint of blue fruits, flowers (violets?) and something salty/savory (tamari?). Really exciting - like a cru Beaujolais and a cool climate Pinot had a baby in Italy. Medium/light bodied but fine tannic grip. Drink now-2020+
Really good, again. A great expression of this mix of varietals. This time--lots of blackberry, bit of black cherry, earth, bit of iron/stone/mineral, all fresh with a lively acid and light tannin palate and fresh finish. Excellent qpr, with character.
