If you've ever happened to have a wonderful experience with a bottle of Beaujolais from France, maybe enjoying the light red with some charcuterie, cheeses, pickles, a couple of cheeses, or whatever you have around, you might have fallen in love with Gamay, the easy-going red grape of Burgundy. The more casual, less pretentious cousin of Pinot Noir. It's the devilishly cool picnic wine, the life of the party, and the grape that is all about the minute, not wanting constant comment and consideration. I love that about Gamay. This wine is all that. It's delicious, juicy, full of cherry and herb notes. It doesn't have some of the mineral complexity of some Cru Beaujolais, but it's technically tight, fresh, joyous, and delicious. And it has my endorsement. I really enjoyed this wine. (92 Points)
