Winemaker Notes: 

"COUNOISE IS BACK! Beyond thrilled to welcome the Claypool Vineyard in Lodi into the Raft Wines line up to bring Counoise back into our orbit.  Pronounced COON-WAHZ , Counoise, is a dark, thin skinned red grape, hailing from the Southern Rhone in France. Normally blended away as a balancing act in Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines adding a nice pepper note with bright acidity. 

In California, there is very little acreage of the varietal planted. This wines is meant to be a fun summer red, served slightly chilled to go along with your charcuterie plate.  Adult fruit punch! Tastes like summer in a glass, with bright punchy red juiciness."
