Fitzpatrick Lava Bomb Gamay 2021

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is a smart gamay that overcomes the challenges of the 2021 vintage. It shows sappy dark cherry alongside savoury peppery spices, with well judged use of whole clusters (17 percent) that keeps the fruit at the foreground while adding lovely complexity. There's a juiciness that belies the warmth of the growing season, with fine tannins that make this imminently quaffable. Best with a light chill and enjoyed over the next year. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.Tasted: 22 July 2023Tasted by: Prices:
