2017 Rod Easthope Gamay Noir

Wild-fermented as whole clusters, foot-stomped, aged in old barriques and without any added sulfur (even at bottling), the 2017 Gamay fits every definition of natural wine. It's also frankly delicious, with stemmy-floral-herbal notes that accent cherry and raspberry fruit. Medium-bodied, it's juicy and mouthwatering, with faint notes of peppery spice on the long, silky finish. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.
