CALIFORNIA : BALLARD CANYON Sangiovese MED-BODIED, TART POMEGRANATE, RED BERRY, LYCHEE, DARK PLUM, OAK Delicious and approachable, ‘Love You Bunches’ is an effort to make a fresher, lighter version of Sangiovese via Carbonic Fermentation — allowing grapes to ferment whole, uncrushed in a sealed tank — in order to soften the grape’s naturally high levels of tannin and acid (PS: the name is a pun on the gentle treatment of whole grape bunches.) Serve cold! ECOLOGY: Sustainable FOOD PAIRING: Pesto PIzza with Arugula & Prosciutto *Low Sulfites

From my gal (whose palate is much better than mine but thinks tracking wine is too much work): Chilled and perfect. Dusky, ruby plum colour. Smells like sweet Alberta wild rose, cranberries, sour cherry, pie spice and a damp evening. Tastes like tart cherry, bell peppers and cola bottle candies. The chilledness walks a fine line between bright acidity and subtle tannins at the end.

Bright cherry notes, soft tannins, light acid, great summer wine. Beautiful ruby red color.

Perfect to drink when making dinner, snacking on olives and cheese. Amazing wine.

Trendy carbonic sweet dry red served chilled. Just odd, possibly in a good way, too much to decipher. I could see this working on a hot sunny day as a starter wine, seems fun, but that’s about it. More than one glass is too much.

Tell me that it’s hot in Texas without telling me… Perfect for warm/HOT evenings on the patio. Love love love the acidity this one gives.
