"DATE: 03-23-07 Appearance: Cheery cherry colour.
Nose: Strawberry/beet and floral characteristics with a bit of spiciness as well.
Palate: Dry with good acidity, midweight. Great expression of young gamay in the flower of youth. This is a sample drawn for this tasting. Lovely strawberry/cranberry/beet/cherry profile, some richness midpalate, well-integrated ripe tannins, long clean finish.
Conclusions: Early days for this wine but indications of great Gamay are already there. Gamay is looked down-upon by some, and is certainly not the flavour-of-the-month. Ontario may well produce the best Gamay wines in the world. Lovely, fruity, food-friendly and gulpable. This has not yet been priced, but if it comes out below $20 grab some and drink it within 3 years." lfw
