Wine Review: This French Gamay is clear and dark purple colored with a bouquet of black plum, pencil shavings, wheat crackers, and black raspberry. It is smooth, balanced, and elegant with good palate coverage. It is also medium plus bodied with integrated fresh medium acidity. There are flavors of black plum, graphite, black tea, oak, and dried herbs with notes of blackberry and spice. Fine grained tannins linger for a while in the dry finish. This would be great slightly chilled on a picnic with country pate, soft cheese, and a sliced baguette. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: This wine is a typical Beaujolais, exhibiting an abundance of elegance, with nice color and a nose that is fresh and fruity. Light tannins result in a very smooth, lingering palate.

Winemaker Interview Series – Cole Ballentine of Predecessor - April 2025

On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, we had the opportunity to interview Cole Ballentine. Cole is the co-winemaker, with his father William Ballentine Jr., at Predecessor Estate. Cole and his father-built Predecessor Estate to reunite the mountain with their ancestors who once farmed the area. We covered Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon wines from both the 2018 and the 2021 vintages. We also covered the Predecessor Estate reserve Cabernet Sauvignon named "Lorraine" from both the 2016 and the 2108 vintages. These are super-premium offerings; very little of each was made. You can read about these special wines and other tidbits we learned from Cole in our latest blog post. Read This Blog Post
