Fruit for this wine is sourced from 50-year-old vines, growing on hills around the cru sites in the northern part of region. The soil is partially granitic, which helps to retain heat in the day but cools off by the evening, contributing to the wine's fresh fruit quality. This Gamay is hand harvested, partially destemmed, undergoes semi-carbonic maceration and is fermented with native yeasts. The wine is then aged in stainless steel.

Red-fruited with notes of cherry, raspberry, strawberry but also has a hint of cassis. There is a slight dash of spice, dried herbs and floral character to it as well. Fresh and light with fine-grained tannins. Pop this in the fridge for 20 minutes and enjoy it with a slight chill!

This wine comes from one of the richer crus of Beaujolais. It has a deep, earthy nose with berry fruits. On the palate, notes of cherry and mushroom with well-balanced tannins and a good length. 

94 Points, James Suckling

This deep, complex Morgon needs some further maturation or aeration to reveal its spicy, dried-herb and mineral depths. Excellent balance of these elements with fine tannins and a medium-full body. Long, complex finish, in which the tannins and mineral acidity are beautifully intertwined. Drinkable now, but better from 2022.

Winemaker Notes

A deft blend (read: obsessed-over) of Gamay Noir parcels from single-vineyard origins, with the expression of the terroir of all-Niagara as its goal … this wine leads us on a dizzy dance combining the deep, ripe fruit and silky tannins of NOTL (Niagara-on-the-Lake) with the delicate perfume and limestone angularity of the best Bench (Escarpment) vineyard fruit. A bewitching nose of rose petals, black raspberry, and smoky cherry jelly. Already incredibly delicious, best from 2023-2025!  Wismer-Foxcroft, Bai Xu, Bator, Willms … all these great terroirs have found their place in this wine that effortlessly marries balance and a slatey minerality, dancing the line between easy drinkability and ageability.

Winemaker Notes

This wine, vinified with 52% whole grape clusters, is the bigger, rounder, richer with thrilling and pure stony black raspberry fruit with bloody overtones. It is the more immediately satisfying of the two Foxcroft Crus, possessing a long and juicy finale that is slightly shorter and more chalkily-acidic than the 33%. If ever there was proof that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” the polemic over Foxcroft 52% Whole Cluster vs. Foxcroft 33% Whole Cluster is undoubtedly just that. In our ad hoc survey over the last two summers, roughly just over half preferred the higher percentage. Still, we find the 33% whole cluster speaks a little more clearly to us about its gravelly, iron-tinged soil origins, and since the taste of the land is what we are all about, we make a little more of that cuvée. Still, it is immense fun to compare them young and wonder about their ageability. Two beautiful siblings. Ageing-Improvement Potential: 2-7 years.

Winemaker Notes

We love the Touraine rouge cuvée wines from the Loire that are typically served as bistro wines in Paris, and refer to them as inspiration for our “Béton” blend. The wines we enjoyed many years ago while training in France were the inspiration for the Béton cuvée. We attribute the success of our red blend, now in it's ninth vintage, to the desire of so many to have an intriguing and food friendly, yet never overly heavy or boozy red wine as a mainstay at the dinner table. The heart of this wine will always hale from the experiences we felt from the wines of the Loire, but we look at the Pacific Northwest more broadly as our palate to draw inspiration and the grapes that make this wine so unique each vintage.
