Blue Mountain Gamay Noir 2016
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaDeeper crimson in hue, reflective of the deeper plum, black raspberry, violet fruit filling this fleshy palate. This youthful wine requires a decant to blow off some reduction now. A blend of 9-27 year old estate vines, this saw 20 days maceration and native ferment before 16 months in French oak and two 500L puncheons. Like last year, I'm left wanting more snap in this gamay. Soft, lightly smokey and somewhat soupy / hollow on the palate, this lacks the juicy vibrance that makes gamay so effortlessly charming.Tasted: 18 April 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $22.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
