Subtle aromas but big flavors! Light and crisp with some texture, like tart green apple skin. Some minerals that linger. Perfectly paired with a crisp fall day! 🍂 — 2 years ago

Best we had in a while, out of the cellar and into a decanter.. really well balanced and quenching.. not too dry but finished with a bit of oak. Tremendous overall body and long windy flavor from sip to gulp, and then some after. — 6 years ago

Medium salmon color. Bright aromas of apricot are the primary focus. Simply perfect with grilled fish and grilled veggies salad (squash, tomato, eggplant, red pepper, fennel). Well balanced and so gulp-able, that my wife even had a second glass. — 7 years ago

Oh fuck yah mayhaps I’ll always overrate a gamay from a cru. Like god damn Fleurie. I dunno. All I know is I love a complex Gamay. So let’s suck it up:, the red/black/blue notes are in but be willing to gulp more. Let the licorice SPEAK! Love that licorice-y shit. Sup it up. — 9 years ago

Lovely zippy minerality, apricots, lychee, kiwi skin, Young and easily drinkable right now. Lapping riverstone for a long time after the gulp. Paired with VA "Cannon Cove" oysters. — 10 years ago

Was still evolving as we finished the bottle. Dark cherry, licorice, good tobacco and some flint. Nice acidity and so fresh was hard not to gulp. Will get better and complex. — 8 years ago

The nose will punch you in the face with black cherry and mushroom, I could smell this wine all day. Take a gulp and you'll taste a tannic tightness, a full body and just a medium complexity. The wine is pretty good but is probably best suited to be poured into one of those spray gun fans just so you can get that great nose all day and not get hammered drinking a 15% alcohol wine that's just OK. — 9 years ago

Stone fruit, peach and apricot, wonderfully pure. Weighty and soft yet lifted. Pretty simple but perfectly executed and a fantastic value 🤯😁 — 4 years ago

I love this wine. Sick sick sick density on the palate. Honey. Hint of tropical fruit. Very hinty ... not obnoxious. Great acidity. So perfectly balanced. Mineral as heck. Such clean minerality. Awesome internal aromatics. Balanced richness. Perfect. This wine is the next big thing. Buy it now or weep. Fass Selections. .... simply electric on the palate. The minerality and acidity just light your palate up. Nose is floral after an hour or so. This is so young. Anyone reading this PLEASE do not gulp it. This is serious wine. Drink over two hours — 8 years ago

Skin contact with the most delicate, pink hue. A light vegetal quality adds interest to this carefree wine. Otherwise gentle on all fronts: acidity, mineral, RS, and fruit. Enjoyed more to gulp than with food. — 9 years ago

These wines gulp oxygen like they've been trapped underwater for days. Do yourself a favor and decant to allow the gorgeous red fruit and stone aromas to blossom. Really lovely, esp for price point. God I love Garnacha (and Cariñena!!) — 9 years ago
