Coquelicot Estate Mon Amour 2017 Review
This is a wine that leans heavy into the organic side of things. It’s balanced, with soft fruit and good acidity. The tannins are well integrated, with a nice light weight on the palate. But with all this there is a definite leathery soil aroma masking what would be vibrant blue and blackberry aromas. If you dig that “natural” feel in wine, this is your higher end Cali style, and would jive with good friends and a cheese plate.
