Charming. Nose of cranberries and other red fruits, bright acidity, and flavors along the same line as the nose. Not a "grand vin", but pleasing, versatile, and good value at sub $20. Would acquire more for weeknights.

Second bottle and, about a year later, a sweet oak quality is much more noticeable. The nose is classic Cote de Beaune, with lots of fruity/stony qualities. On the palate, the tannins create good structure but that sweet oakiness is a bit dominant and gives it a New World impression. It needs time to mellow. Delicious but a touch lopsided at this point in its development. Hopefully, it will integrate but it’s still an infant.

Floss liked this. Day 1 showed a dark fruit nose but lots of sweetness on the palate. More like a williamette valley than a burgundy. Day 2 it mellowed out a bit and became nicer.

Didn't love these. Were simple and tasted a bit west coast with fruit dominating and acidity falling behind. Sous bois was no where to be found.
