Light and easy going with a bit of leather. Kind of like that s&m club in downtown Cleveland. — 5 years ago

Varietally correct. Medium weight. This would be great with pheasant. — 5 years ago

This is still an ass- kicking wine. Big, bold, Stoney, not your daddy’s gamay. Has that intense candied cherry mouth, but in a sophisticated way. Awesome stuff. — 6 years ago

I love these wines. Big, ripe, peppery nose. Lots of vivid dark black fruits. Palate is mouth-filing and complex with terrific freshness and so much granitic minerality. Very juicy. Terrific wine drinking great now. Amazingly balanced and pure. — 9 years ago

Nose is gorgeous game. Sexy as hell. ... as it opens gorgeous lavender.

Palate is grapy in a great way. Great balance. Fresh crushed in your mouth blackberries. Not super dark or brooding. Nice grippy texture. Super fresh.

Long finish with some blackberry licorice.

So young. This could be 95ish good in 5 years. An elegant wine.

Maybe there aren’t any bottles floating around anymore, but I got lucky and snagged one. This is super juicy Tannat, which is not something I ever thought I’d say or hear. Dried cherries, super ripe plums, some underripe blueberry, a bit of funk on the nose. Graphite and leather too. There’s still great acidity which makes this gulpable. it’s an interesting wine, this mixture of dried fruits but bright and juicy acidity feels like it should be two different wines, but it’s not in any way disjointed or threadbare. It’s just got serious backbone, and long tannins. Like a northern Rhône Syrah without the floral aspects. It’s slightly meaty and spicy when first opened. The empty glass is restrained but all violet. I wish I could’ve had this a couple of years ago but it’s still really lifted yet soft tonight. — 5 years ago

Simply awesome. Nose of ripe blackberry, almost a coulis, lovely granite and olive and smoke. Gorgeous. So pure and deep. Rich and ripe with beautiful pure blackberry and raspberry fruit and loaded with granite, smoke and olive. Elegant and velvety tannins and terrific acidity and freshness. — 6 years ago

A go-to dinner wine. Imagine mating a classic Cote de Brouilly with a Saint Joseph. That's this wine. Intense stony minerality and very pure Gamay fruit. — 8 years ago
