This is a crazy wine – unlike anything I’ve ever tasted or expected. Labeled Vin de France, a designation for ordinary table wine, it has vibrant notes of violet and cassis with secondary notes of raspberries, blackberries and tertiary notes of leather and tobacco. At only 12.5% but not too delicate, it’s from the Jura region, better known for Savagnin white wines and Vin Jaune, so it has the cool climate characteristics. Apparently it’s made from Pinot Noir but tastes markedly different from Pinots in Burgundy, Alsace, Provence, or Germany, and it almost has more in common with the cherry cola taste of Oregon Pinot.

that label is so weird for a wine like this, like they put a circus tent instead of a chateau
never had a jura pinot that drinks like that but now im curious, the violet note sounds wild especially at only 12.5%
