February 18, 2022 - Not the Gamay I expected. This has virtually no fruit but very much herbal/tea notes. It still had good acidity and structure with very little tannin. A bit floral on the nose.

January 13, 2021 - Good balance with some firm tannin. The fruit is muted and delicate but shows more (fruit) in the long finish. Some mineral notes with some dryness on the back end. Quite pleasant and it may soften with some time.

September 19, 2017 - Upon opening, there is an immediate burst of cherry punch and nice silky texture, followed by complimentary acid balance.

April 3, 2017 - Dry dusty tannins and fruit that tastes flat. Lacks acidity & aromatics. Feel like they left this on the vine to ripen a little too long and it lost it's vibrancy. Disappointed.
