Encountered this wine during the tasting at the Princeton store with the winemaker himself, Steve Clifton. Simply put, I love it. There's lots of peach in the nose, which stays present in the mouth (along with a tiny bit of green apple). However, unlik... More

This was the most wonderful tasting light bodied wine I think I've ever had. Normally I reserve "punch" (as in "fruit punch") as a BAD word for red wine... but in the case of this elegant beaujolais it's the complete opposite. Fro... More
