Lovely, fresh, lively. Soil and rocks. Really beautiful style of gamay. Drink these now for fruit and energy, but imagine this will develop nicely too for next few years.

Was not familiar with Gamay. I really enjoyed this bottle--so different than most of the commercial wine out there. Fruit forward, moderate alcohol, drinking very well now.

There was some funk at first. Over the course of a couple hours, it settled into dust and pepper on the nose with red fruit in the backround and a lightly vegetal tone. The palette is light and approachable. I'm not sure I understand this varietal yet. 6-16-6-6

#RRSFBAY (Washington, DC): Tangy, almost sour, with fine tannins, bright cherries, roses, some funky-meaty undertones. Equal parts tasty, fun and weird. Digging this Rhone Gamay.

Perceived some sourness, especially just after opening, that reminded me of a sour belgian beer, e.g. a lambic. Good and zippy if you like this, or maybe it was an odd bottle variation. Definitely some tart fruit, however.

Really starting to enjoy this immensely.. Growing into it. More fruit and depth than the first two bottles. Love where this wine is right now..

Andrew Guard Trade Tasting (Berta Restaurant, Sydney): Leather, savoury red fruit...in the mouth it is very light but eminently quaffable. Okay.
