Mayer Gamay 2017

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AustraliaUpon first opening, this bottle is a bit too funky for its (or even my) own good. However, with airtime (or a decant), this reveals meadow, mossy forest, bay leaf, white pepper, on a lean, earthy red drawn from Roundstone Vineyard, a plot brought to fame when deBortoli made gamay here. Semi-carbonic, whole bunch brings this lightness and herbal freshness, lifting cherry, wild raspberry, above a tar, cigar, and tobacco leaf base. Drink now, with an adventuresome spirit. #GoGamayGo.Tasted: 10 February 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
