This is the 2017 vintage - a lot like my notes on the 2015 strawberry jam fruit

It’s summer. It’s juicy. It’s delicious. At nearly two years old, for this style, it’s impressive.

Fruit forward, but left an unpleasant astringent aftertaste at first taste. I found the wine more palatable several hours after opening the bottle. It’s growing on me. The longer I leave the bottle to aerate the better this one tastes. Really enjoying it on day two of being opened.

Fruity but not sweet, almost perfume or floral, strawberries. Probably better in the summer than on a cold winter night. 2017 vintage.

Trader Joe's, $9
Much darker in color than other Gamays I've had. Bright tart red fruit on the nose, a little astringent. Tastes of tart dried strawberries with a slightly sweet finish. Also some earth and mineral notes, and some of the astringency on the nose is also present in the taste, a bit alcoholy. Nevertheless I love Gamays and this is a solid one, and also the only one my Trader Joe's carries. One of my favorite wines under $10 from TJ's so far.

Jammy fruit as expected, though the fresh components are now fading to a dried fruit flavor.
