August 28, 2015 - Tart strawberries, watermelon rind and brine...juicy acidity. Nice end of summer sipper.
August 15, 2013 - The jolly-ness continues... as always, a delightful bottle of Steve Edmunds' gamay. While this wine might lack the distinct sense of place found in the best crus beaujolais, it compensates with impeccable balance and unmatched liveliness on the palate. Bright red fruits in abundance and bracing acidity make it a perfect match with summertime foods - we had it with grilled portobello 'shrooms, fresh corn, and salad. With a light chill, then popped and poured, almost impossible to stop sipping.
August 13, 2013 - On the deck, with a grilled chicken salad. This is a delightful wine. It ignited the jolly-ness...
February 19, 2013 - Tasted blind. Light to medium body. Dry on the palate with bright and lively acidity. Cherry, cranberry, and a little pomegranate. Gripping tannins on the finish. Very food friendly.
November 25, 2012 - Delicious. Berry and floral notes on the nose. Bright acidity. Very nice domestic version of a gamay. Will get more.
November 6, 2012 - strawberry is a bit overripe and smucker-ish to be beaujolais but complimented by dark purple plums and berries as well, but this still manages a winderful acid backbone and granitic minerality to still appease the francophiles. certainly a "serious" interpretation of gamay, but still accessible
September 12, 2012 - Strawberry and rose petals on the nose. Bright red fruits plus a dusting of spice on the palate. Slightly grippy finish. More high pitched than Cru Beaujolais -- lacked their earth and funk -- but accessible and delicious. Good on day two as well. Definitely a rebuy. A very good domestic version of gamay. 12.4% abv
