Super wet and fruit forward, jammy, boysenberry, smells of hibiscus and cinnamon ginger cookies (slightly), slight sweet tobacco, lots of body and subtle jam, not too structured, fair intricate with the jam highlight, nice sort of see through color — 7 years ago

Hints of balsamic reduction and tea leaves on the nose. Beautiful crimson red in the glass from middle to rim with faint brown edges. Medium tannins and acidity. Black tea, espresso grounds, unripened plum skins and a tomato jam component on the finish. Oak is moderate and well integrated. Tannins hang in there through the finish. Paired with meatloaf...whatever bro. Eat what you got, when you can, when you work in retail. — 7 years ago

This is a solid wine...the kind I would want to always have on hand for when friends come over and we are looking for a casual yet delicious selection. Nice leather, spice, black soil, and dark fruits on the nose. On the palate there is blackberry cobbler, blackberry jam, plums, and baking spices. — 8 years ago

Sweet sorrel, strawberry, and cherry jam, mild tarragon, slight cinnamon smell but not pronounced, ruby with slight magenta color, taste is holds the tone straight forward, slight cinnamon taste and maybe all spice that’s underlying and steady, cherry, strawberry and slight bitterness but acid dominant with a slight leather, red licorice green vine finish — 5 years ago

A bit bigger with more ripe strawberry jam taste than other gamay. But as it opens up, floral and mineral notes come in to balance. Nose is wonderful and earthy. I really enjoyed this. — 6 years ago

Inky purple with aromas of blackberry jam, plum, chocolate, violets, and menthol. Juicy dark fruit predominant on the palate with soft tannins, 14.5% alcohol, and a long, minty finish. Drinking a bit like a California Syrah or Aussie Shiraz at this point. — 7 years ago

Gorgeous aromas of black currant, blackberry jam, spice and baked/stewed dark fruit. Full bodied, luscious and a medium+ finish. The 15.5% alcohol is barely noticeable. — 8 years ago

Thomas

9.3

Best slightly chilled. Deep ruby color. Very fruity nose, almost like jam. Very intense flavor, fruit initially on the palate, fully body, very smooth finish hint of vanilla and spice. High alcohol (abv 15.5%). Trader Joe's $25-27. Would love to have most nights, cold or warm season. — 5 years ago

Just can't get enough of this bottle, best QPR in Champagne, for my palate!

Prior notes apply; Nose is toasty brioche and a minerally quince jam. Ultra clean, creamy palate reflecting the same notes.

I love this wine! Thank you @Lyle Fass — 6 years ago
