Sophie Siadou, Valençay, France, Red Blend, 2023

Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Côt (Malbec) come together for this fun and fresh red blend from the Loire valley in France.  Bright red cherries, wild sage brush, and purple flowers jump out of the class. Velvety tannins are present on the palate, so don't be fooled that this isn't a serious wine.  Perfect for grilled burgers and brats or lamb chops and rosemary.
