Tart cherries that mellowed a bit. Chug-worthy Gamay that seems to be holding itself back. I know there's something to reveal underneath (will try to report back on day two).

Absolutely incredible. One of the best gamay I've had this year.

First time having a Gamay, I'll always try something once, not my kind of wine. But many seem to like it. One & done for me.
