Anne et Jean-Francois Ganevat, Le Jaja du Ben, VdF

The first thing I noticed was the nose. Funky was the word that came to mind and was going to use it for this write up, but hesitated when I read the two previous reviewers using it, but it is what it is. But funky in a good way. It made this wine less boring than the usual run of the mill red wines I've been drinking since the sheltering took effect with the coronavirus epidemic. The palate was light …

Clear garnet, lightly funky and reductive fresh berry nose, palate of bright red fruit, sweetarts, and a little spritz. The finish is medium-long, riper and with a little pucker, better day 2. Cru Beaujolais and Jura types blended.

Funky, red berries both ripe and unripe, jammy, high acidity, soft tannins. Red plum.
