(raised for a year in large, neutral oak casks) Lurid ruby-red. Vibrant cherry and raspberry aromas are complemented by suggestions of smoky minerals, floral pastilles and spicecake. Concentrated red fruit flavors are energetic and sharply focused, and hints of cola and licorice add depth to the back half. Silky, sweet and broad on the long, incisive finish, which features soft tannins and lingering floral and mineral notes. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Apr 2017)

Banging gamay showing its potential across the tracks. Rich in an elegantly rustic way. Like the Southern B&B the Mrs keeps wanting you to take her to. Everything you want from a Cru Beaujolais without the price tag.
