Tawse Winery Gamay Noir 2011
VQA Niagara Peninsula $18.95 12.0% alcohol
Exotic spice, black pepper and über-fragrant, ripe, red fruit herald a juicy, well-structured river of delectable, ripe mulberry and spice-laden, briary berry streaking across the palate adorned with complexity and charm. It’s medium weight and balanced with good mouth feel and a juicy, tangy aftertaste warm with piquant spice, wisps of supple tannin, fruit-laden and absolutely charming. It’s a very special, top-drawer Gamay. (Vic Harradine)
