I really liked this. Went well with my turkey scallopini piaziola. While very light, it has faint tannin and nice Summer fruit. 100% Gamay and works well with good olive oil and light garlic. Easy and quaffable and lightens up further when left in the glass. This won’t compete with heavy red meat or strong spice but works well for a good light red.

By far the best vintage of this that I've had. Red berries, rosy, stems, flowers. VERY good value.

This is some Beau with some years on it and must say I much prefer it. Not as fruity forward and bouncy as when young; now more balanced and slightly refined (more pronounced finish and less acidity). Still have a couple of these left. I’ll have to do a side by side!!

SUPER RED. Berries and similar to a strawberry wine. Hints of pepper. Paired it with a tilapia and veggies. Very enjoyable.

Light-to-medium body, medium red/purple. Strawberry and tart red fruits, also some darker cherry and currants, subtle dried fruit. Light flower, maybe rose. Medium acidity, medium to low tannins.

medium light body, dried cranberry, strawberries, dark cherry. Good with seafood.

Light and inoffensive, like a Steely Dan song that's sort of catchy and then you kinda forget about it. Not too sweet, smells really good - for $10, you could do a lot worse.
