Yvon Métras Moulin-à-Vent Gamay 2012

Jay Kline

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2012 pours a hazy garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe mixed fruits: raspberry, pomegranate, strawberry, Bing cherry, licorice, horse blanket, forest floor and rocky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. This finish is long. A wild wine; literally and figuratively. Teeters on the edge of being too careless but it doesn’t cross over into the realm of gerbil cage. Drink now.

A nice bottle of Metras. Needs a lot of air but was a cleaner and more complex bottle with just a hint of volatility

His wines continue to impress me every time I open a bottle. So alive.

love Metras, but this is the second 12 I've tried that's been a bit odd and oddly lightweight, and in general feels like the parts haven't or can't come together.

Very interesting Gamay! Tons of grape flavors with that stemmy nose. This is built for the distance. Even better on day two...
