January 14, 2012 - Last bottle and sad because I don't think I can get more. Just stellar last night, consistent with past notes, only with even more depth and balance.

December 25, 2011 - Delicious. Recognizably gamay, with that soft fruit body, but with good focus and acidity as well.

December 16, 2011 - Consistent with past notes. This wine is a gem when you're in the mood for something zesty and drinkable. Tannins were not quite so pronounced this time, which made it even better.

December 1, 2011 - Stony, danky, tarry nose. Bright red gamay fruit. Touch of acidity. Tastes like earth. Slightly funky and unclean in a good way. Tastes like real wine. Not too long on the finish, but for $13 it's badass right now. Good stuff.
