Turley Kirschenmann Zinfandel 2023

the palate boasts great intensity

wild blueberries and chocolate-covered cherries

2022 Marine Descombe Beaujolais-Villages (Mary Taylor) drinks like Beaujolais with its sleeves rolled up—pure Gamay fruit

Günzian gravel lounging over limestone—a geological gift that kept its cool as the Médoc sweltered

and dried bay as it moves

Fermented entirely in stainless steel

damp cellar stone

Aromas of white flowers and fresh red berries lead into a crisp

it's like a  bonus round of meat for the meal

with a silver lining

edged by green bell pepper and fresh thyme

and the fruit character is one of vivid freshness
