Cave Spring Vineyard Gamay 2023

Aromas of red cherry, strawberry compote and pepper abound, with hints of toffee, licorice and wet slate in behind. Medium in weight, the palate is built around a core of juicy blackberry fruit and light, soft tannins, punctuated by a bright hit of acidity. Judicious oak treatment brings a round, silky feel that draws notes of raspberry and spice into a long, supple finish. This is a vintage that impresses for its easy drinking, refreshing character and ripe, persistent flavours. Serving Suggestions: Goat's cheese appetizers; tomato based pizza or pasta; grilled meats; barbecue chicken; serve lightly chilled.
