Les Quelles de la Coste, Les 7 Quelle NV

It's not common to find blends of Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a 65:35 split in favour of Pinot, matured in old 225-litre French oak casks for eight months. Notes of sous bois and brambly, briary fruit add a sense of wildness to black fruit aromas. Medium-bodied but packed with fruit; silky tannins are balanced by fresh acid and a hint of chamois leather on the lingering black cherry finish. Thoroughly quaffable.
