2022 13th Street Gamay

I have to say, Gamay is growing on me. This one is juicy with lots of fruit up front, very approachable and absolutely delicious. Classic gamey Gamay nose with ripe raspberry, tobacco leaves, licorice, perfumed violet and cloves. The palate is soft and round, with a great level of acidity. The length is impressive for the price point. Flavours include ripe red berry, blueberry jam, a hint of chocolate and a lingering spicy finish. The tanins are more present on the back end of the palate, which helps highlight the length, and is probably the best attribute of this wine. Great value proposition! (July 7, 2024).
