Haywire Gamay Noir Secrest Mountain Vineyard 2015

Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYouthful, ample cherry and black raspberry fruit, this Secrest Vineyard gamay reaffirms that the grape has a strong future in BC. Juicy and bright, with salted anise, forest floor, light wood smoke and flaked salts fills out a lively palate, one hemmed in with fine, mellow tannins. Deeper, duskier style, showing a bit of sweetness but still very fresh. The good news is partial whole bunch and eleven months on lees, in concrete, ups the complexity. Youthful and primed for drinking now with pork tenderloin or wild mushroom salads. Solid.Tasted: 17 November 2016Tasted by: Prices:
