93 Points: Outstanding & Editor’s Choice!
“Medium to dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of boysenberry and blood oranges. In the mouth, silky flavors of blood orange and boysenberry mix with a touch o f meatiness and a hint of struck match. Excellent acidity and a really nice stony underbelly make for a lovely package. It is a textbook interpretation of Gamay, unsullied by oak or overt winemaker effort. It’s fresh, pure, and a great expression of the grape and the place.”
95 Points The Tasting Panel
“A sensational wine! A textbook example of a Cru that displays a strong sense of place. Medium deep, violet color, wonderful purity and intensity with the aroma. Red fruit galore: dark cherry, red raspberry, savory spice, and ample weight on the palate. Beautifully ripe, seamlessly smooth, layered, nuanced, lifted acidity, impeccably balanced with some taunt yet ripe tannins on the back palate. With about an hour of aeration, the range and intensity of the wine is magnified. It’ll age gracefully for another decade. Produced from low yield, high density, seventy-year-old vines from a raised elevation vineyard site. Not fined or filtered. A wine with the it's factor
