Magnums 2017 Division Rose Gamay L’Avoiron $44 each
Columbia Gorge, Washington State
“Rosé of Gamay Noir is yet again a crisp, vibrant and mineral intense rosé wine with a perfect peachy pink hue, and harkens more of white wine in body and texture. We are reminded of Beaujolais rosés with the aromatics that include strawberry, peach, and chalky lime. The palate is bright and mineral rich with a distinct berry intensity. We are sure this rosé will be the perfect accompaniment to spring, summer, and just about any fun gathering that calls for wine!”

and one very torpedic 3L $88

A joint venture by Damien Coquelet & Kewin Descombes. Nouveau Beaujolais but less nouveau. A longer elevage is apparent with more balance on the fruit. Lively acidity and minerality that those familiar with Coquelet will recognize. Yum!

Buoyant black fruit dominates the palate and is followed by pretty red berry tones, and smoky minerality that is framed by a judicious note of wood. This is an elegant and dynamic old vines Gamay.
