Also, the wine is bottled under screwcap, and all bottled from the same tank, so the bottle variation suggested is a little hard to imagine; my first thought is the folks at the table like a different style wine.
Most importantly, though, I'm glad YOU liked it!

I had the 2002 Shadow tonight decanted for 4 hours...tannic little bastard, in a nice sort of way, with a grilled flat iron steak.

Overall a nice showing though, that makes me conclude that I don't drink nearly enough Beaujolais. These are truly the wines I could drink every day and never tire of.
David M. Bueker wrote:Steve,
Any thoughts on 2008 (for the Noir as well as the Rosé)? I'm still drinking up the last of all that 2006 Rosé I bought & the Noir is available locally. I think I will be back for more in the 2008 vintage (plus you qualify in my no screwcap, no purchase program).

Sam; I'm glad to know you enjoyed the '06. Wait till you try the '07. I think the vines, planted in 2000, have really begun to turn the corner, and the expressiveness seems to be ramping up. Hope this isn't too spammy, but I'm really starting to get excited about this vineyard!

The Roilette regular I can buy locally, but not the Tardive or the others.
