Heads %2b Tails

Pax Mahle Wines

Sonoma Coast Gamay Noir 2019

I’m going out of my way to drink more Gamay, and gain some understanding. Perhaps I should’ve reached for a benchmark Beaujolais instead of a hobby project of Pax. So I can’t tell heads from tails, but I can say this is moderately interesting. Very fresh, with savory aromatics—I guess from whole cluster inclusion—in greater concentration than the underripe red toned fruit. Palette is zippy and grippy, the tannins being most of the finish as the flavors quickly fall flat. This is a nice picnic wine, but I will try to stick to Syrah and Grenache when buying from Mr Mahle. — 4 years ago
