Twisted Tree Gamay Noir 2008
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI'm always surprised how good local gamay can be, but as a varietal on the label it has little street cred that likely point to its French forefather Beaujolais. Expect a tasty sweet-ish, smoky, spicy, black cherry fruit followed by soft, supple tannins and some sweet vanilla notes. A baby pinot noir in search of a single fantasy name to improve its image. Grown on the yet to be approved "East Bench" appellation in Osoyoos.Tasted: 12 May 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $21.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine stores |
