This is a very pretty wine with lovely pale color, fruity and slightly smoky nose and beautiful fruit on the palate and nice long finish.

It's only wine but I like it

An interesting note of pepper runs through this Gamay, enhancing the bright red fruit (cherry, cranberry). Light-medium bodied, fine grained tannin and crisp acidity, and even a hint of light herbs.
