Darling Wines Gamay Noir James Creek Vineyard Sonoma Valley 2023
This is the first-ever Gamay Noir from Darling Wines, Gamay originates from the Beaujolais region of southeast France. Gamay is a grape that the winemakers fell in love with, inspiring them to embark on their winemaking journey. This wine captures the playful spirit of Gamay, reminiscent of their Pinot Noir but even lighter and more whimsical. This summer's go-to chillable red bursts with flavors of red jolly rancher, candied cherries, and pressed flowers. The palate is juicy and crazily refreshing, evoking a sense of delight with every sip. Notes of candied strawberry, rosewater, and baby sage add layers of complexity, making it one of our favorite summer reds!
Their Gamay undergoes a unique fermentation process with 75% carbonic maceration and 25% partial carbonic maceration, using native yeasts to enhance its lively character. After fermenting, the wine is aged for six months in neutral French oak, which imparts subtle nuances without overpowering its inherent fruitiness. Unfined and unfiltered, this wine retains its natural vibrancy and clarity.
Critical Acclaim
92 Wine Enthusiast
Vibrant ruby with a purple tint in the glass, this mostly carbonic Gamay displays aromas of tart cherry and raspberry, violets and herbs on the nose, while the palate brings a bit of crunchy tannin, berry fruit and spice. Perfect for chilling and grilling.
