Ruby with aromas of red fruit and earthy spice notes. On the palate cherry and cranberry, herb spice wrapped in vivid acidity. Fine tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and earthy notes. Not overly complex but ok. Drink now, no further aging benefit.

Clear ruby. Black cherry, black tea on the nose. Black cherry, tarry black tea, and hint of mineral earth on the medium palate. Fruity for a Burgundy (but still not that fruity). Medium plus but forgiving tannins (decanting is recommended). Medium acidity. An enjoyable, food friendly PN that’s a great entry point into Burgundy for the New Worlder. Drink now through 2023.

Aromas of red fruit with some earthy spice notes. On the palate cherry, raspberry and cranberry, gentle spice, balanced with vivid acidity. Smooth tannins with hint of earthiness brings this wine to a medium finish. Not overly complex but good.

Red fruit, cherry, raspberry and sour cranberry with some earthy spice. Smooth, the palate shows red fruits, balanced with vivid acidity. Gentle hint of earthiness brings this wine to a medium finish. Not overly complex but good.

Medium ruby in color; cherries, hibiscus, and dried leaves on the nose; medium acidity; medium tannins; tastes like raspberries, cloves, and pomegranates with a long finish. Nellie, Jason, and I like it.

A blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir sounds delectable.
Opaque dark color, red rim.
Fresh jammy fruits on the nose reminiscent of Gamay but somehow pulled in a new, structured direction.
Light body but with a medium finish, offering expected structure.
Not as enjoyable as I had hoped.
Interesting concept though!

Subtle. My palette isn’t sophisticated enough for French pinots. Easy drinker

Cherry, earth, strawberry, floral. A little light but good.
