Gamay Noir

"With dark crimson color and exceptional clarity, the 2005 Gamay Noir presents aromas of fresh red fruits, including raspberries and cranberrries, with hints of white pepper and cedar. The brightness of these aromas carries through to the
flavors with plum and cherry followed by a touch of spice and vanilla on the finish. The palate impression is round and juicy with good concentration balanced by crisp acidity, which will make this wine an excellent companion for a wide variety of foods including barbeque, roast turkey (think Thanksgiving!) and even pizza. This Gamay is ready to drink now, but because it is made in the cru style rather than the lighter nouveau style, typically associated with this varietal, it is ageworthy and will continue to improve over the next 3-5 years. Do not hesitate to chill the wine slightly, especially with summer fare." - Winemaker notes
