First of my own bottles, and I am less impressed than when I had a few tastes at a party.The fruit is a bit too tart, the tannins too chalky/drying. It's an interesting wine, but needs a bit more flesh to be truly pleasurable.

A couple of short tastes as a party - this is bright, fresh and bears no small resemblance to the ESJ Gamay wines from the same vineyard. The issue is that it is $10 more than the ESJ, while providing a very similar experience. Very good, but I struggle with the price tag for the future.

Very dark fruit and tannic. Nice, but not pleasurable.

Super fun, good snap of acidity and fresh fruits with just a touch of savory. Dig the red wax capsule ala Lapierre and Foillard.
