Note di degustazione
The 2023 Gamay Noir comes from two vineyards in the Sierra Nevada Mountains: Barsotti, planted in 2005 at 2,800 feet in elevation, and Witters, planted in 2000 at 3,300 feet. Only whole clusters were used during fermentation, and part of the grapes underwent carbonic maceration. Matured in concrete and used oak, the nose is bursting with scents of strawberry, blueberry, botanicals, dried herbs and flowers. The medium-bodied palate is packed with spicy flavors. It offers soft, approachable tannins, energetic acidity and a long, perfumed finish.

The 2023 Gamay Noir is a blend from Witters and Barsotti, grown on granitic soils and done with a brief carbonic maceration. Sweet dried cherry, sweet pipe tobacco and cedar are all beautifully lifted. In 2023, the Gamay Noir is a bit light, but it’s a charmer. This is an especially earthy/savory style.
