I’m going to begin focusing on Gamay a bit over the next few months, because it’s an underdog grape that really intrigues me.<\/p>\n
So, here we go, with the first wine in this focus. [Actually, I may have to go back to the RPM Gamay I reviewed a few days ago and make that the first in the series. So this is Gamay focus, 2.] This is such a good wine. When I tried it, its vivid peppery black fruits made me think of the Northern Rhone. Well, it turns out that this wine was in previous vintages labelled as Cuvee Cote Rotie, which reflects its flavour profile but which is a bit naughty, so it had to be changed.<\/p>\n

\n13% alcohol. Full cherry red colour. Sweet, slightly spicy, subtly meaty black cherry fruit nose with a peppery brightness. Almost Syrah-like. Serious, fairly dense palate with red cherries, raspberries, black cherries, a bit of pepper and some savoury herbal notes. Combines elegance and structure, with a lovely stony, mineral, dusty peppery spine. 93\/100 (\u00a314.50 Berry Bros & Rudd)<\/p>\n\n
