Pretty rich and serious Beaujolais for ~$24. Dark cherry, mushroom, damp soil, and showing lots of youth. Definitely needs some time to open up. Worked well with the rich meal. Happy Easter!

Firm and racy dark fruits, floral, and damp earth, and wet stone on the finish. Generous and vibrant.

Quite nice. Loving the '13 Beaujolais, and this one is a steal. Must buy a case when it finally arrives in Portland. #cottagewine

Chunkier style of Beaujolais, but juicy and lovely all the same.

Tart cherry finishing in orange peel. High acidity and low tannins but very fruity and pleasurable to drink alone or with chicken or pork.
