Edmunds St. John
Bone-Jolly El Dorado County Gamay Noir
El Dorado County, Sierra Foothills, California, USA
Ruby color. Cran/straw berries. Light and lip snacking refreshing but not a trifle. Some deep satisfaction in the mouthfeel

Beautiful Gamay from El Dorado county: inherent brambly red fruit, a little underlying meat and funk, possibly even fennel; gentle spiced palate, black pepper that travels across the palate. Some fine tannin, carrying the fresh cracked pepper across the finish. #Gamay #eldorado #California

Dec 25th, 2016Acid for dayyyyyzzzz. Super translucent with lots of fruit on the nose, but some herbs and white pepper on the palate. Hoping air and or age will bring this wine some more complexity, but not a bad Monday night sipper.

A good wine from a guy who had the balls to make California Gamay before it was trendy. He's also a solid person who represents the what is right about the wine industry. Cheers Steve!

Pretty good Gamay with a touch of age. On the nose, cracked pepper and roses. In the mouth, juicy red fruit, smooth tannins and good acid. Medium-long finish. Great wine, and less fruity than more recent vintages.

Fruit forward. Tangy. Bright. Doesn't finish quite as well as hoped.
