  A variety I had not had before. On the nose it doesn't give much away, but it has a bit of that whole cluster PN vibe I sometimes smell in Marcus Goodfellows wines. In glass pours pretty purple/dark and on palate hits you with crisp sour cherries and just barely ripe red fruits. You can def taste the stem inclusion as. In a blind, I would have guessed Gamay, but Gamay with a little more drying tannins somehow. Loved it!

  Vaccarèse vines plated in Willow Creek District by Tablas Creek (who else?) and farmed by Outward.
  
  Bacon grease, black cherry, wet stone, fresh cracked black pepper, orange peel and lemon peel. Flavors consistent with the aromas. Bright with a medium + body, medium acid and low tannins.
  
  Overall, it's cool to try a Vaccarèse from CA besides Tablas' own bottling (which I thought had HIGH tannins, weirdly enough).
