Wine Review: This clear and dark ruby colored Gamay from Chateau des Jacques opens with a black cherry and light loam bouquet with hints of steely minerality, violets, and black tea. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, seamless, and savory. The flavor profile is a black tea and pomegranate blend with notes of light loam and blackberry. I also detected hints of cranberry, red currant, and black pepper. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and faint dusty tannins fade away nicely. This Gamay went well with my Chicken Diane. I would also pair it with a black pepper crusted pastrami sandwich. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: This wine presents bright floral aromas with hints of dark berries and spice notes. Bold and expansive on the palate, the flavor evolution is shaped by substantial yet fine tannins and tangy acidity over the long finish. Rich and ripe but not over-the-top.
