  Tasted on day 3. Crunchy strawberry fruit. High acidity. Nice floral high toned notes. Good balance. Smoothing out a bit on day 3. Still drinking great. This will go the distance. No rush on these.

  Again, spectacular wine. Not just a great Gamay, but a great wine period.
  
  Crushed black pepper nose and a bite on the attack. Light red fruit and light bodied. Beautifull, elegant... Must I go on?

  Wow! Can he prove that he didn't bring in top quality bulk juice from France? A ringer for French Gamay - Beaujolais meets Loire style. Crunchy red fruits, pomagranite, vibrant, zingy acid, and a wall of granite. Roast a chicken on a drizzly evening, have this, and pretend you're in a Paris bistro.
  
  Point me to another domestic Gamay that tricks me into thinking it's from a high quality French producer.
  
  Nice QPR at $20.
  
  (Drank well over two nights spaced apart a few days, barely suctioned, no gas.)
  
  12.5% abv

  Wow. I've not had a domestic Gamay like this before, and Ive had a lot. So much high toned red fruited acid power but also plenty of leather and cedar. And here I thought 2019 might have been a hotter vintage. Watch out Mssrs. Descombes et Brun. Electric!
