This one survived thanksgiving unscathed, but went down last night with a different turkey preparation. this is a great wine. My son guessed it to be cru Beaujolais blind. it has the same fruit intensity, and super polish and that previous pepper note has faded to the background but is still noticeable. not ageing, but as good as it is now I would not take the chance on waiting.

PNP. Cork perfect. super intense pepper on the nose - would not have guessed a gamay but more likely Grenache or syrah. sipping shows the gamay profile, with dense fruit entry and a brief mid palate / finish but totally polished. really excellent and I think will drink the last bottle w thanksgiving turkey

Light and nimble, with excellent freshness, bright fruit and minerality. A restrained 12.8% abv allows flavors to really sing. No detectable oak. Nice balance and style. Overall, a very enjoyable bottle.

3.5 Gamey Noir Cru from Eola-Amity. Lovely representation of Gamey. Low alcohol, subtle cherry notes on the nose and tongue , with plenty of acid. Minimal oak influence. A great food companion.

Found two more bottles at SEC. My previous tasting notes pretty much say it all, except that now i sense that this is on the verge of decline. drink
