Samuel Louis Smith Escolle Vineyard Gamay Noir Santa Lucia Highlands CA 2023

Tasting Notes: Vivid cranberry and pomegranate unfurl with crushed violets, white pepper and thyme. Sleek acidity drives a juicy midpalate, balancing silky tannins and a stony snap. Finishes long with cherry pit, blood orange zest and subtle savory fennel on the finish.
