Edmunds St. John Bone-Jolly El Dorado County Gamay Noir 2017

Stefan Dolhain

Subtle and velvety, hard to resist

Daniel M

Very interesting nose with strawberry, gooseberry, cherry and leather. This is very different from any gamay I had ever tasted so far. The palate is marked by a very strong acid backbone and a very lively, almost electric mouthfeel. There are some touches of red berries all along, very few tannins but a drying effect kick in in in the rear and a very long red berry finish. Blind I would have said it's a trousseau from Jura. I like it nevertheless and this is probably the most interesting California wine I have tested thus far (but the good stuff rarely makes it across the pond and through to Poland)

Brandon Boesch

Still great!

Charles Mires

Okay

Iwan

I was hoping for more Beaujolais-like character, but not much there.

Michael Greene

Very nice rose. Strawberries, cherries, with a mineral/saline finish.

Stuart Pollack

Fruity Rose, very strawberry in flavor and a real treat. An excellent American Rose. Not subtle but delivers the flavors.
