Really nice at 5 years. A little funk, a little green. Deliciously juicy mid palate.

Feb 3rd, 2021Brilliant deep ruby - quite dark for gamay. Lovely spice, violet, red flowers, cranberry, raspberry liqueur and a nice earthy, forest floor note. This wine has surprisingly vibrant acidity and soft tannins - good with food and probably even better in a year. I made salmon with a soy, ginger and orange glaze and it was a terrific match

Aug 8th, 2018Cloudy raspberry color that’s so intriguing. On the nose it’s crisp pomegranate, raspberry, and cranberry with subtle notes of smoke and dusty herbs. In the mouth the fruit is snappy and pure, with a pretty crushed rock mineral streak. High acid with sneaky tannic grip on the impressively long finish. Delicate, while remaining structured, and beautifully pure.

This wine made our dinner (the food was average but the wine stellar). A little luscious with depth. Tart cherry notes.

Nov 3rd, 2018Feminine red and black fruits with stemmy green notes and perfumed flowers and herbs. Concentrated berry flavors on the palette. Extremely well made - fresh nuanced gamay without any bubble gum banana (which I also do enjoy). This is a seriously well made Burgundian style wine.

Jul 11th, 2018Tastes like bright raspberries and cherries, mineral notes, and subtle spices. Tastes like how post-Thanksgiving meal feels, warm and fuzzy. Perfect Beaujolais.
