What to Expect

The Gamay grape finds it's home in France's Burgundy region where it is responsible for the red wines of Beaujolais. Producing light to medium bodied wines with modest tannins and good acidity, Gamay is unfairly associated with Beaujolais Nouveau. It is capable of producing wonderful, cherry and raspberry flavored wines with earthy hints of violets and spice.

classic purple gamay saturated colors- nose that is all about rocks and strawberries- dense and a bit tight on the palate- very nice, better in 4-5 years.

I pared this up with shrimp and asparagus. The shrimp had a mild garlic sauce while the asparagus was drizzled with EVO, sesame seeds and pepper. The wine balanced well and neither over powered one another. Plum, cranberries and cherries were most obvious on the nose and I did pick up subtle hints of oak. The wine is slightly dry with a fruity pallet. For me, cranberries were the most prevalent taste. I enjoyed this wine but I feel the $24.00 price tag was a bit high. I would place it in the $12.00 to $15.00 range. But, I’m fairly new at this so what do I know.
