After ranting for several vintages now about the lack of production of this wine in California these days (only one winery has offered a steady stream), I am happy to report that Jeff and Mark Pisoni have jumped into the game with this tasty offering. It’s spot on in Gamay character, and partial carbonic maceration delivers raspberry, blueberry, cherry and stemmy spice aromas and flavors over lively acidity. It finishes long and is a perfect foil for roast bird – I would grab a few bottles to be ahead of the game for Thanksgiving!
