An elegant Cru Beaujolais. Roasted red plums, red ripe cherries, sweet baking spices with notes of garrique on the back palate. Good weight and texture with a long finish. Awesome!

Crazy blue and deep red fruit profile jumping out of the bottle, lilac. A lesson for those who question if minerality in #wine is a "thing".

Preliminaries say carbonic, hard candied a dark red dried cherry fruit. Earth and gamy for varietal character. Some balsamic and dried herb, Rich pallet of fruit with residual saline/blood quality. Mineral. Residual CO2 gives a nice frame for all the fruit. Acid plays off soft tannins to leave a lengthy sandy texture in the finish. Shows well alone, but shines with a meal.

Cru with Attitude. Pretty, light, and direct like you think a Cru Beaujolais would be, but this thing has a ton of attack. Pretty high acidity and a dollop of rusticity give this a beautiful bite.

Fine for a Tuesday, but I just get a lot of acid and not much else. Wouldn't buy again.
