Deep Roots Winery Gamay 2022
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Naramata's Hardman Vineyard, facing southwest toward the lake, this was destemmed and cold soaked for 6 days before a 9-day fermentation. It was then pressed into older barrels where it aged 8 months. Juicy blackberry, cherry, cracked pepper is cut with a slice of VA on the palate, tightening and shortening the palate to a puckering finish. Tannins are lightly sticky, hugging this along to the end. Try with grilled mushroom burgers.Tasted: 11 October 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $22.53 | 750ml | winery direct |
