Bright and hot, this wine is certainly not simple. It's full of baking spices, tar and leather, cherries, black licorice and oak. The most pleasant part is the finish, which is long but mellow but fills the mouth and is full of red fruits.

Really quite bright but still reserved nose with complex raspberry jam notes. Quite deep, luscious and rustic, bright cherry notes and loads of fresh spice and some light tar on the finish.

As rare as it is to find, I was pretty excited to try a varietal Pinot Meunier. There's a savory film on the nose, with hot hints of spice and dried red fruit. The flavors are quite bright, and also quite tart and acidic. The finish is extremely long. Dark cocoa and a wooded, rustic character.

Lovely light nose of peach and apricot. I really like the texture of the wine, it's creamy and juicy at the same time, with the tiniest bit of a bite at the end and a long creamy finish. Flavors have nice fat stone fruits and some oak. Very pleasant.

Dark chocolate covered raspberries, deep oak, tar leather and tannin in this one. There's even a bit of herb.

A tasty wine, golden pear and crisp apples, vanilla and oak. It's quite acidic, which definitely freshens it up although the mouthfeel still tends towards a smooth and silky texture. Very oaky on the finish.

Light aromas, a little creamy with a bit of banana. Flavors have a bit of sweetness, some citrus fruit especially on the finish.

Medium intense aromas of apples and peaches. It's not a full on sparkling wine, but definitely effervescent, quite sweet with heavy apple flavors. Reminds me of sparkling apple cider.
