I found this just a touch leaner, more tannic and stemmier than the Joseph Drouhin. Still a pleasure to drink, the wine is fun highly crushable. Raspberry cotton candy but lined with a green herb and white pepper lining that remind you its Gamay. i like the earthy-fruity balance that speaks of real winemaking sense of place. Enjoy with the finest cocktail wieners you can find. Drink when you get it home.

As usual, this DeBoeuf Nouveau is a crowd pleaser. The candy apple and cherry notes lead to dusky earthiness. Light, juicy and uncomplicated the long dark cherry finish is quite pleasant
