Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

The 2013 Generation Seven Gamay Nouveau is composed of Gamay Noir that was bottled one month after harvest. This wine that was meant to be fresh and vibrant, is just that – fresh and vibrant with notes of blackberry and sour black cherry on both the nose and the palate. It is a medium bodied, extra-dry (though perceivably dry), fruity wine; with good acidity, almost no tannins and a clean finish. Drink with food - pairs well with even hot and spicy dishes; drink now to next year’s batch is ready. My impression: quite pleasant, 86 pts. Tasted Nov/13.

This is the true spirit of Nouveau. Bright [very light colouring], sour cherries, and a bit of effervescent hit on the palate. Top quality nouveau - well done Bosc family. I'm going out to get more - this will be perfect with a turkey dinner for Christmas. #jesuisarrive13 indeed

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
