Top Notes For
Tom Casagrande

Yes, these guys do Beaujolais in a Bordeaux bottle.

Great nose features ripe cherry and berries, along with a rich, humus-like earthy note and scents of old barrels. Fruity but fairly structured in the mouth. Significant tannin frames the sultry, oozy fruit. Initially, it’s a little austere in the finish (a la the region whose bottle shape is used), but more fruit comes through as it gets air. Unique and very good.

Unique and does not taste like traditional cru Beaujolais, heavier and more complex
