(8/2024) A blend of 38% Valdiguie, 33% Mourvedre, 17% Grenache, and 12% Cabernet Franc, Carignan, Syrah, and Petite Verdot, it comes across as a mash-up of Beaujolais and Cotes-du-Rhone. Given that until 1999, the Valdiguie grape was known as Napa Gamay, this makes perfect sense. Carbonic maceration enhances the fruit notes of raspberry, strawberry, and plum, while the Mourvedre, Grenache, and Syrah deepen the flavor and add a light but noticeable earthiness and tannic backbone that give this 12% ABV wine more intrigue than most chillable, glou-glou options.
