  Retail $25. 100% Gamay. Master the World tasting Kit 241C. Another lovely, bright, ruby wine from Beaujolais, this time from a third and fourth-generation winegrower as Michel Tête is now sharing the winemaking with his son, Sylvain. Sour cherry, pomegranate, and strawberry are the predominant fruit flavors and aromas with rose and violet playing starring roles as well. The palate is all about the fruit as well, but the above-average acidity gets plenty of screen time as well. Round and smooth until the finish, when some tannins peek in as more than a cameo, hinting that this film, er wine, has lasting potential.

  Delicious gamay. First thing you notice is the delicious candied raspberry smell - almost reminded me of a jolly rancher. First sip was the same candied raspberry taste but nothing jammy. Light and delicate. After a few sips, a bit of black pepper comes out creating a nice balance.

  I really think I drank this too soon. It was overly lively and acidic, without the beautiful perfume of the 2018 that I had last month. I will try this again in the right timeframe.
