Consumed at dinner over the last few nights:

2007 Marcel Lapierre Morgon
nose: bright red fruits, grapefruit
palate: crisp, light, fruity

(note: this isn't the Kermit Lynch bottling)

After the relatively big and structured '05 and '06 versions of this
wine, it's back to basics with the '07, a simpler and more forward
version. I wouldn't hold onto this for more than a year or two, but
it's a lot of fun to drink right now.

Thanks for notes. I think I'll pick up one or two (though I think it
is the Kermit bottling locally).

Haven't had this producer. Are they widely available?

Fairly widely available, Larry. Kermit Lynch gets national
distribution, and I get bottles imported by a firm in Chicago. I see in
wine-searcher that MacArthur's in DC has it, but no shops in VA turn up
and only one in NC does.

I have never seen it around here but I have to go to DC in 2 weeks so I
