Winery Review: Delectable, fruity nose underscored with aromas of red and black fruits.Generous and aromatic on the palate, with silky tannins; Balanced and delicate. Expressive, generous and enjoyable right now, this is a perfect wine to enjoy with a slight chill.
Pair with all meats, chicken, wild mushrooms, and strong cheeses. - Taub Family Selections
Wine Folly: pg 113 "Gamay" - The book says this is a lighter red with prominent notes of pomegranate, blackberry, violet, soil, and banana. Of these, I noticed the blackberry and soil.
Personal Review: Pretty and acidic and tannic, but not overwhelmingly so. Reminiscent of a Sangiovese, but a bit lighter. Notes of cherry, soil, and wood. A bit of vinegar off flavor that the girls did not like. Could have been better balanced. 3.2/5
