December 19, 2016 - Barnyard funk on the nose just beautiful and borrows from a red burgundy. Can I describe a beaujolais as a long finish? The initial attack is light, but mid and lasting long palate just keeps bringing back unsweetened black cherry. This gamay has it all and is just singing and light on its feet. Acids in check and could give this years and years of life. Lovely.

Personally, I love this wine and the brett doesn't offend me, in fact when there is so much fruit and complexity it can even add to my enjoyment of the wine.
