Lovely darkish fruit juice that’s been poured over stones drenched in ocean water. A lively start with a salty finish.

Gorgeous wine. A lovely blend that highlights the best of both grapes.

Glad to see JL getting into the Gamay lineup from the Barsotti Vineyard. I used to visit their house, drink apple juice, and swim for hours. They had a slide and a rock cave in the pool.

Started off all about tart red cherries with an undercurrent of granite. The finish was unexpectedly long, but there was no mid palate at all. After an hour or so, a fabulous mid palate developed. Nice red for a hot summer day.

Tasty stuff. Red fruits in spades. A wine that was drained quickly and kept getting better and better with air. Great addition by RT @DomaineLA
