Willamette Valley Gamay Noir

Loved the 2016 and 2017. 2018, at least this bottle, doesn’t seem like it adds up. Less punchy flavors and more mellowed and watered down. It’s still really good, just seems like it’s lost a step in comparison. The first miss I’ve ever had from Craft Wine Co.

Shockingly good. Blue & black berries, reminiscent of great Côte de Brouilly. Firm and big-framed. Super clean and correct. Bet this will be something in 4-5 years.

Love this.

Minimalist wine done right. Manages to be juicy, refreshing, AND structured. 🖤

Another winner from Omero. Took awhile to open up and once it did it was rocking

Blind tasting mindfreak - the fruit and color intensity really place this iteration of Gamay into the new world

Tried this at the winery and it was much better. Not sure why, but maybe heat in the bottle? Not corked. Just not as great as I remember.

Weird wine. Classic Gamay fruit flavors but with the addition of lots of Christmas spices. Evolved a lot between the first and second day. Good structure and silky mouthfeel.

Yum

Very good. Could use a slight chill. Meat dinner wine
