This wine is perfect for parties, pizza, spaghetti with meatballs.
Very light red from Veneto.
Dark cherry color, aromas of strawberry jam, spices, flowers.
On the palate very lean, fruity, medium to light body, dry with short finish.

Another nice example of Beaujolais.
Color is purple, not very dark. On the nose a lot of strawberries and cherries. On the palate silky, red berries continue bursting their aromas into the mouth, a little spicy.
Very good wine for summer BBQ or enjoy it on a deck with a sunset.

Very unexpected. Delicious!
Very light color, almost Pinot like. On the nose it is not very usual Beaujolais with candy aromas, there is more of raspberry, roses, violets.
On the palate this wine is very young, it can age for a long time. Lean, fruity, very complex palate.
Finishes with spice and cherries aromas.
Very good cru Beaujolais!

The 2005 Yacochuya (100% Malbec) spent 18 months in new French oak. It is a saturated opaque purple color with a brooding bouquet of mineral, wood smoke, lavender, incense, black cherry, and plum. Voluptuous and powerful on the palate, the wine is dense, rich, succulent, and impeccably balanced. It demands another 6-8 years of cellaring and will offer prime drinking through 2025, if not longer.
