Review from Decanter: Good extract and density as well as juiciness and drive. Fresh red fruit (cherries, plums, raspberries, currant) mingle with juicy citrus (blood orange, pink grapefruit) for a fresh palate, appealingly complex. Elegant tannic framework, driving the flavours with a refreshing zesty kick. Vibrant yet soft acidity. -91
Wine Folly: A fruity, floral, and sometimes earthy light-bodied red that is the main variety planted in Beaujolais. Outside of France, Gamay has a tiny but devoted following.
Personal Review: This wine has upfront aromas of sweet berries like strawberry and raspberry. Not too much berry flavor came through, but I tasted mostly strawberry with a slight spiciness on the end, similar to black pepper. It is light-bodied and very smooth. I very much enjoyed this wine.
