Description

Travels in France and Italy have provided much fuel for our daydream fires and Gamay and Dolcetto are both varieties that have traditionally been viewed as more humble and approachable in their home regions. We love their lively and fun personalities and look at this wine as an international party of salt-of-the-earth people. On the nose it is rosy floral and fruity with strawberries (wild, Hood, and jam) as well as grilled plums, dark berries, obsidian minerals, petrichor, and summer forest. The palate reflects the nose and brings along bright juicy acid, a plush and velvety mid palate, and a long firm structure. Great with a chill as a summer red accompaniment to anything off the BBQ, and will work well with late summer and early autumn as the nights become cooler.
