  December 8, 2009 - This wine has uncoiled since its release last year, with snappy strawberry and cherry fruit and lots of minerality, a kind of tangy ferrous salinity. I can't think of a wine that more transparently shows its origin in decomposed granite soil. This wine reminds me of Chermette's Domaine Vissoux wines, with similar crackling fruit and minerality. ESJ makes two Gamay Noirs from the Sierra Foothills. The Bone Jolly is the easier drinking wine, emphasizing the juicy fruit. But the more interesting wine for me, the Porphyry, is all about the minerality.
