Rust Wine Co. Lazy River Vineyard Gamay 2019
Cawston, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWe thought last year was muscular, and 2019 is similarly crafted, albeit with that intensity and electricity that seems to inject an extra level of energy in Similkameen wine when it is set free at the winery. It is grown in the Lazy River Vineyard in the Similkameen Valley, native fermented, and aged stainless steel. The attack is ripe, offering fresh black cherries and raspberries flecked with black pepper. There is a gentle tug of tannins, although it is barely significant and easily lost in food. Duck, pork, mushrooms, and root vegetables all work here.Tasted: 03 April 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
