3 | Wine | Red, Burgundy

"This crisp, fruit-forward and juicy wine has expressive aromas and flavors of ripe red berries, with nice heft in the mouth, and mineral and spice notes."

"Bright violet to the eye, with some floral/fruit hints on the nose. Wild strawberries and fresh red cherries on the palate, and both framed by a suggestion of chocolate—with just a hint of tannins emerging with time. Classic, classic, classic beaujolais with its bright red fruit and silky texture; this is bistrot wine at its very best, and will turn the head of even the most jaded wine geek. Insanely inexpensive at the moment—so buy this one by the case (or two—yes it's that good!) for a ready supply to enjoy throughout the spring and summer months."

"This medium-bodied wine is harmonious, with forward, plump fruit and a silky texture balanced by gentle tannins and elegant structure. The very typical Pinot aromas and flavors of red cherries and wild strawberries are complemented by a delicious, lingering finish."

"With a somewhat fresher and very red pinot-infused nose that is followed by detailed, intense and firm medium-bodied flavors that possess good energy and punch on the mouth coating and somewhat linear finish. I like this as it has good development potential as well as a bit more mid-palate flesh though it is not a classic young Beaune as the mouth feel is somewhat stern."
