This shows so much bright, grapey fruit with citrus undertones. Granite and ash undertones. Medium to full body. Vivid acidity and focus. Reminds me of the excellent 2015, but slightly more acidity tension. Drink now.

Bright purple. Vibrant, mineral-accented aromas of fresh red/dark berries, incense and potpourri are complemented by a licorice nuance that builds with air. Shows sharp delineation and floral lift on the palate, offering sappy black raspberry, butter cherry and spicecake flavors that deepen and become sweeter on the back half. Finishes long and youthfully tannic, with strong, floral- and blue-fruit dominated persistence. (Josh Raynolds)

A mineral-driven red, with wild raspberry, tangerine and wild herb flavors matched to white pepper, floral and capsicum accents. Light tannins provide texture on the finish. Nice purity and freshness. Drink now through 2023. 450 cases imported. (Gillian Sciaretta)

From a high-altitude parcel on blue volcanic rock, the vines planted in 1946, this Juliénas has the reductive stink of a natural Beaujolais, its flavors as savory as a black-olive tapenade. The fruit is ripe and brisk, the tannins salty and dry. Give it a year or two for the tannins to relent and the complexity of the wine to show.
