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.

Funky, earthy, Burgundian nose, intensely smoky with notes of medicinal floral tones, tea and baked wild cherry and medicinal mineral tones, intense stuff! Soft and almost lush with plenty of acid and only a whisper of tannin supporting the dried strawberry fruit with dried Asian spiced beef notes and dried orange peel on the mid palate with a fresh brisk floral and red berry finish of moderate length. 88pts

Dried asian spices and cinnamon on the nose - a little overpowering. Lemony middle eastern fruit with exceptional balance. A strange wine experience.

Delicate orange rind, cinnamon, plum, rice, with allspice. Very complex and forthcoming, and not overpowering in any way.
