Medium red. Aromas of candied strawberry and raspberry. Sweet, fat and seamless, showing impressive volume for a village wine--especially one carrying just 12.8% alcohol. Not the last word in definition or lift but attractive for drinking right now. Finishes with broad, fine tannins and very good length.

A very fresh and high-toned red berry fruit nose leads to delicious middle weight flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration, vibrancy and excellent length and definition for a villages level wine. Worth a look as this is really quite good.

The 2009 Morey St. Denis is a gracious, entry-level wine laced with juicy red cherries, herbs, licorice and tobacco. There is a slight angularity to some of the contours, which is pretty much the only thing that detracts from the wine's overall sense of harmony and balance.
