Raspberry and blackberry fruits abound, speckled with hints of violet and mushroom on the nose of the first vintage of Moulin-à-Vent. Ripe fruit opens the show on the generous, round palate, with clove spice bringing up the rear. This is a far cry from Beaujolais Nouveau. Rather, it's a complex, versatile wine that keeps us coming back for more.

92 pts - Vinous: “Vivid purple. Deeply perfumed, spice-accented cherry and black raspberry qualities on the intensely perfumed nose. Plush, round and sappy, offering ripe boysenberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors and a touch of candied licorice. Nicely concentrated and velvety in texture, revealing no rough edges on the smooth, gently tannic finish, which leaves behind intense blue fruit and spicecake notes.”
90 pts/Best Buy/Year’s Best Beaujolais - Wine & Spirits: “The first sniff may shout Brett and natural winemaking, but time in a decanter shifts that impression to a farmer’s wine. Its rustic complexity brings to mind a range of spices, from caraway seeds to fennel and rosemary. Decant it for country pâté with mustard.”
90 pts - Wine Spectator: “Rose petal notes line the black cherry, peach and ground spice flavors of this tangy red, with elegant touches of earth, anise and herb on the long, moderately tannic finish.”
