Night 1: Nose is carbonic leaning at first with purple raspberry and grape candy but unfolds to cranberry, pomegranate and violets with some mineral, smokey accents. Palate is clean and medium weight, with some sweet baking spices on the finish. There’s a really pretty breezy, weightless quality to this as it airs. Night 2: Runaway mousiness. The fault seems increasingly prevalent in natural wines many of which cost upwards of $30/bottle. Frustrating. Finish this in one sitting unless you’re not sensitive to mouse taint.

Few Americans understand the depth of Beaujolais due to the market flood by the big producers during the Beaujolais Nouveaux annual festival. The Gamay grape has so much more to offer and Master Sommelier, George Miliotis, shared this great example with me. Dark overripe strawberry and stone minerality. Charcuterie never tasted so good!
