"A female jazz vocalist playlist for an intimate French countryside jazz club at midnight. channeling Nina Simone's intensity and Cassandra Wilson's depth. The medium-full body calls for rich, full-throated vocals layered over lush arrangements with horns and strings. The rhythm should be a natural, easy swing to match the medium-high tannins. The energy is electric and vivid, with sharp clarity and snap, reflecting the high acidity. The tasting notes of red cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant, tart red fruit, dark berry translate to warm, nostalgic melodies, complex, layered instrumentation, crystalline, precise piano. A gentle mid-tempo pace, 80-100 BPM."
