Wine Review: This clear and ruby red colored Pinot Noir and Gamay blend from Gros Ventre opens with a black cherry and violets bouquet with hints of potting soil and red plum. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, super smooth, and seamless. The flavor profile is a dried strawberry and black tea blend with notes of stony minerality and red currant. I also detected hints of black pepper and tobacco. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and very fine tannins drift away nicely. I would pair this friendly red blend with a charcuterie board. Enjoy – Ken
Winemaker Notes: Each year, this cuvée gains in nuance and depth while staying true to its roots: fresh, expressive, and endlessly versatile. On the nose and palate, it’s bright and lifted, with notes of strawberry, cranberry, violet, and savory herbs. Pair it with everything from soft cheeses and grilled salmon to charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, or even just a handful of Marcona almonds.
