Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay
Lively, surprisingly rich, but very bright with acidity. Tannins grip lightly. Fun and tasty wine.

Oct 1st, 2016Wow this is rich & hearty Morgon. Needs mucho air time, but after three hours fruit really came out- crushed cranberry, raspberry preserve, cherry jubilee, red/candied apple. Almost like a Sonoma Coast Pinot, but with the meaty masculinity of Gevrey-Chambertin. Pencil shavings, salami(Spam?), and dried up rose petals. More tannin than I've ever had on Gamay. "The gang of 4" delivers again!

Dec 25th, 2015Bright fruit, cherries, dusty tannins, not much depth but very high drink ability

Dec 21st, 2015Could easily fool some people into believing it's Pinot. Bright, pretty. Needs air.
