Artisanal Gamay Noir 09

Highly recommended by Avalon Wine. When the great Brick House Gamay noir 08 sold out, we found this remarkably good alternative. Limited.

The fruit for our 2008 Gamay Noir comes from Rebecca’s Vine- yard in Yoncalla, Oregon. The vineyard was planted in 1987 and rests on a scenic ridge. Three of it’s 21 acres is devoted to Gamay Noir. Fermented in a Cru style, the resulting wine is a playful, light bodied red. The nose and palate are full of bright fruit. It’s refreshing nature makes it perfect to pair with a multitude of grilled foods and sauces. (Screwcap) - the winery
