A delicious Californian Gamay with a bit of age on it. The nose shows ripe cherry scents, hay, cola, sugar cane, a bit of mushroom and leather too. There is a tiny bit of oak lurking in the rear too. It's not reminiscent of beaujolais, but you can see how it's related. The palate is delicious with a great acid drive, a very mouthfeel, some width, a rather thin matter, nice cherry and cola notes all along, a bit of a tannic wall in the rear before a finish that goes on for a while with cherry, cola and hay. It's quite solid and fun ! It's a lighter, fruitier and funnier version of gamay than more serious and extracted examples from nice sites in the Beaujolais region. I'm glad I could find it in the wine cellar / bar we celebrated my birthday in! — 4 days ago

Lean and delicious. Violets. Smoked meat. So much better than the last one I had nine months ago. Previous bottle may have been flawed. — 8 months ago

1L growler refills off the tap FTW. A bit longer on the skins in ‘23. This is my favorite vintage of this wine yet, didn’t love previous vintages. This feels closer to the Jolie-Laide version. That’s a good thing. — 9 months ago

Pale lemon, lemon juice, lean and crisp, salty savory on the nose too. Very broad shouldered textural and phenolic on the palate. — 2 years ago
