JoieFarm Gamay 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada#GoGamayGo. This year's gamay builds on the strengths of 2015, without the forest fire smoke issues of that vintage. Juicy and dense with black raspberry, cherry, plum, spiced forest berries and a proper lick of smoke that coils around the core to the finish. This is from Naramata's Deep Roots Vineyard, clone 509, fermented, then macerated for a week on skins before racking to barrel where it rested for ten months on fine lees in a mix of 30 percent new barriques, as well as puncheons and a wooden cask. Tannins are silken, inviting drinking now with salmon or mushroom risotto.Tasted: 20 November 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $19.50 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
