GUINIGI

Château des Capitans 2021 Juliénas AOP, Beaujolais, France ($24)

This Cru Beaujolais, made from 100% old vine Gamay, was named after Julius Caesar. From its dark berry aromas to its dry, dusty mouthfeel, the in-between portion of this elegant red is noteworthy. Cherry pith and plum skin leave a dusty trail, with black pepper and dried heather savoriness. Fresh and vibrant, with gentle tannins and fine acidity.
