James Suckling, 93 Points 

"A charming, elegant and velvety wine that emphasizes wild berries and woodsy, savory accents on a medium frame of snappy tannins and nervy acidity. Lots of tangy red fruit, from cranberries to sour cherries, and accents of bay leaves and pine. Best from 2026." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Unlike the cherry red color and aromas of many classic, delicious Gamays, this wine marries juicy fruit with an otherwise darker, brooding character. That fruit leaps from the glass – strawberry Bon Bon, raspberry lemonade – cut with tar, rosemary and iodine, showing substantial weight on the palate. Almost grippy, a wave of acidity complements the tannic structure through the finish. Think of it like Beaujolais meets cool-climate, New World fruit in the best way possible. Serve chilled." 

Alcohol: 12.7%
