Vivid ruby Carignan and another delightfully light, luminous vintage, already to drinking superbly in its youth.

100% Merlot that did not ferment completely dry, so Paulette elected to bottle with a little residual sugar, giving the wine that wide-eyed drinkability and lightly spritzy character. Bright red fruits feel luminous and crackle with energy, a lick of balsamic cuts the palate. Find out more.
