Nose has crushed cherries & raspberries, ripe summer watermelon, steely notes and faint moist chalk.

Palate has tart raspberry, watermelon rind and fresh cherries. Nice acidity.

A fun wine for an almost 80°F day in the Berkshires, atypical for early April. I believe this to be our first 2020 vintage wine.

A blend of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc & Négrette. $12! — 3 years ago

Great white burgundy, typical of a young vintage and has great potential. Grass and lemon peel, lightly Oaked, buttery, with great acidity and a nice long finish. — 4 years ago

You’ve always needed a Grenache/Gamay blend in your life, you just didn’t know it. A cherry red color with purple flecks and long legs. After some time and air this really blossoms. Blue and black berries dominant on the nose with a little bit of herbal goodness for kicks. A touch of pepper because why the heck not?

Half Grenache and half Gamay from Ardèche in the Rhône. An odd blend but it most certainly works. The acid is prevalent and welcome. A definite cough syrup vibe happening, but in a really pleasant and gracious way. While sweeter on the nose, it’s more dry and developed in the mouth. Plenty of fruit on the palate with some spice and forest floor. Super fun. — 9 months ago

Elegant P-F but yet another one that J found fuller bodied and I found thin, plus that vaguely antiseptic nose and edge on the backend that I get from a lot of these...well short of the Vergelesses a few weeks ago....but then it is a P-F. Couldn’t stand up to roast chicken in creamy morel sauce, disappointingly — 3 years ago

Very nice muddled earth-stewed red fruits and blackberries. Definitely a stereotypically natty wine; no surprise being imported by J&F, but still a lot of complexity and balance here with a short decant. Nice and lovely for a fairly entry level Kekfrankos despite being a bit powerful/extracted, with potential for short-term cellaring. — 4 years ago

Dynamite- toasty, tropical nose but laser focused palate- unreality and acidity carry the palate. — 3 years ago

Don't know the disgorgement date for this bottle, but this is amongst the best J-F I've had. Excellent!! — 3 years ago

This vintage is big. So young but already perfect for aging. Aromatic nose. Sexy wine. One of the highly underrated and under celebrated producers in the J&F portfolio. Endorse — 4 years ago
