March 22, 2024 - Petit Crenn (Hayes Valley, San Francisco): Nose: Prickly spiced red flowers, nicely herbaceous, and notes as if you somehow managed to squeeze cranberry juice with your bare hands.
Palate: Dark and strict red cherries, I think the strictness comes from a touch of cranberries as well. Light and dried oak, soil and gently bitter minerals. The dark and nicely bitter cherries work well with the other notes. Almost carbonic but not too much, really riding that line. Great juiciness. Nice flare of dry and lightly spiced oak, it’s almost like a spark on the finish. One of the better gamays I’ve ever had. Quite tasty, both on its own and with some (steamed?) halibut. I want to get a few of these just for my non-wino friends. Wine of the night for me.
