Leftovers from our 2nd Annual, “Bierock Bonaza: Let’s have some funza with Runza”.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2015 pours a deep ruby with a slightly purple tinge and a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of lightly stewed, spiced strawberry, ripe fig, and cherry lozenges, red flowers, green herbs, with a touch of leather, and a mix of organic and inorganic rocky earth. Just the faintest hint of mouse. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The alcohol is also medium+. Delicious. Drink now through 2030.

Magenta color. Threw small amount sediment. Perfumed floral nose of violets. Light to medium bodied. Tart raspberry & cranberry. Super high acidity (?VA) was a detractor for me. Couldn’t tame it with food. — 6 years ago

@Delectable Wine: This is the Gamay Sauvage. I didn’t see it in the database.

My last of three bottles that I’ve followed over the last 2-3yrs (one bottle a year). Swiss Gamay! Fun to try and explore this region. As a 2016, this seems almost at peak, so these can probably hold a few more years.

Even though this was my third time to try this, my initial thought at pop and pour was that this seemed some one-dimensional, but then it seemed like a combo of Sonoma coast Pinot and cru Beaujolais. Plenty of ripe black cherry and ultra savory herbs. 30mins later, the aromatics absolutely exploded…whole cluster + carbonic flair…crunchy, stemmy, pure gummy fruits (bright red, blue and black fruits). I didn’t get the wintergreen note I get with most cru BoJo, but I also didn’t get the sappy red and black fruit I get with some Sonoma coast Pinots. 13.8ABV. Great acidity. Give it a half hour or so to bloom, or hold another 2+yrs. — 4 years ago
