| Community Tasting Notes (average 86.6 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by huberww on 4/12/2015: Very enjoyable even at this late date - started off with some fizz that blew off and turned into a very enjoyable dinner wine, plenty of acid and some nice cherry/berry flavor. A pleasant surprise! (1572 views) | | | Tasted by Sijan on 6/16/2012 & rated 90 points: Really nice acidity and red fruit (raspberry/strawberry). This is a bigger, bolder version of Gamay than is typically found in Beaujolais. Pairs great with food due to vibrant acidity. (2263 views) | | | Tasted by ggtirevite on 10/7/2011 & rated 75 points: Does not compare to a basic beaujolais (2780 views) | | | Tasted by SonomaWilliam on 7/5/2011 & rated 90 points: color: medium brick red, super vibrant & clear, very slight browning on edges. This wine changes dramatically with the slightest air exposure, my opinion changed drastically in just minutes. Nose (after 10 mins) bouquet of raspberry, earth, wet stone, bright red fruit, almost zingy. In mouth cranberry, strawberry, some black cherry. some minerality, silky mouthfeel. Quite high acidity, almost a tad much, would settle down with bit more bottle time. Unique, wonderful wine. try it and broaden your horizons. (3063 views) | | | Tasted by James Kim on 5/1/2011 & rated 90 points: From memory. Drank this a long time ago. But just remember the joy this wine brings. Just has the delicious factor in spades! (807 views) | | | Tasted by Jason Rzutkiewicz on 4/17/2011 & rated 89 points: (12.9%) Bright purply-red at the core to almost clear on the edges. Nice nose of mulled, spicy red fruits and floral notes. Fresh, vibrant and juicy on the palate with a nice acidity. Pure, underripe raspberry and strawberry fruit lead the way before a peppery spice kicks in with tangy tannins on a soft, lengthy finish. Pure and focused throughout. A wine with soul… (2572 views) | | | Tasted by Brix on 2/28/2011: With a few months sideways, this has settled down nicely and now displays what I was expecting from it. Typical Bone Jollyness: juicy acidity, clean and food-friendly, nice balance in a Cru Bojo-type wine that's not profound, but certainly very enjoyable. (2382 views) | | | Tasted by James Kim on 2/6/2011 & rated 90 points: From memory. Bright juicy red and black fruits with a hint of earth, minerals and herbs. Light bodied, elegant, with great acids and energy. Just delicious. Good deal for $17 but a steal for $11 on sale. (303 views) | | | Tasted by greenwalter on 1/8/2011 & rated 86 points: Tastes like Gamay. Good freshness upfront, but then gets quite soft. Not the same acidity balance as a good beaujolais. Nice flavor or tart strawberries. (1874 views) | | | Tasted by marc d on 11/18/2010: Smells nice with darker fruits, but is a little bit funky in the mouth. Some reduction (a side effect of the screw cap closure?), a pinch of dissolved CO2, and big acidity makes this a touch aggressive at first.
With air this lessens, and the wine has a black cherry, mineral profile that is pretty good. (2114 views) | | | Tasted by Tudz Drkl on 8/13/2010 & rated 86 points: A very earthy nose and fruity palate. The acidity is good - more of a medium frequency than a high frequency - and food friendly. This is richer and darker than a Beaujolais Gamay. (2074 views) | | | Tasted by EMichels on 5/15/2010 & rated 86 points: Fresh; Strawberry; Light; No nose (1821 views) | | | Tasted by Brix on 5/13/2010: Reductive funkiness and a hefty dose of spritz on opening. Tried a single glass and decided to wait another day. On day 2, the funk is gone, leaving... not a lot, frankly. Reticent nose of red fruit. Nicely slippery on the palate, with a smidgen of remaining spritz, but still pretty simple , with some straightforward plummy fruit and balancing acidity. Will probably benefit from some bottle age. (2217 views) | | | Tasted by salil on 5/8/2010 & rated 84 points: Mucho ESJ (Croton on Hudson, NY): Tasty, but pretty much a one-note wine right now with bright red fruited flavours and not much else. There's really nice acidity though keeping it very fresh, but right now it's quite boring. (2873 views) |
| Edmunds St. John Producer websiteGamay Noir Varietal character (Appellation America)USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sierra FoothillsAmador |
