Wine Review: This clear and ruby colored Gamay Noir from Pax opens with an inviting dried strawberry and loam bouquet with hints of cedar. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, bright, crisp, and fresh. The flavor profile is a strawberry and loam blend with notes of red licorice and marionberry. We also detected hints of maraschino cherry and cinnamon. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and fine tannins drift away nicely. This wine benefits even more from some aeration. The longer it is open, the better it gets! So, give it a good decant before pairing it with Chinese spareribs or lamb lollipops. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: This muscular wine opens with bright aromas of wild strawberry, cinnamon, and Bing cherry, lifted by rose petal and a subtle earthy spice. A savory edge of crushed granite and dried herbs adds depth and character. On the palate, it’s juicy and vibrant, with a density unique to the vintage with the refreshing acidity you'd expect. Flavors of red currant, pomegranate, and tart cherry glide into a clean, mineral-driven finish with a dash of tannin that bodes well for short term cellaring.
