Joyce Gamay Noir San Benito

There's a compellingly rocky core to the nose of this bottling, which is redolent with black raspberry, flinty smoke, crushed hibiscus, rose petals and an earthy streak. The palate is crunchy with fresh cranberry skins and other red fruits, and jam-packed with mineral tones of turned earth and pulverized stones. It goes down tremendously easy but with elegance and intrigue.
