Boutinot 'Uva Non Grata' Gamay Noir 2023

Boutinot Uva Non Grata feels like a quiet provocation poured into a glass — southern French fruit with its elbows on the table, relaxed but alert. Ripe blackberry and black cherry lead, shaded by cracked pepper, dried herbs, and a faint note of olive skin that keeps it grounded. The palate is supple and medium-bodied, more glide than grip, with fresh acidity carrying dark fruit, savory spice, and a whisper of earth through a clean, unforced finish. It’s easygoing without being simple — the kind of red that invites another sip before you’ve quite realized the glass is empty.
