Not sure if this is NV or the producer/importer just forgot to put the vintage on the label. It did win a Gold medal of some sort in 2007, so it is probably of recent vintage.
A blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 30% Gamay and 10% Cot/Malbec
Not decanted.
Nose quite fruit forward with just a hint of farm yard/brett. Quite Gamayish.
Palate followed the nose.
Easy drinker which probably won't age worth a lick. Soft, lacks backbone.
Not completely hateful, but definitely overpriced at $16.
FWIW,
