Continuing with the series on Gamay, I’m sticking with the Okanagan Valley in Canada. I’m in Whistler, now, and this wine is from Samantha Rahn<\/a>, who’s the wine director at Araxi restaurant<\/a> here. She made this wine at Okanagan Crush Pad (OCP)<\/a>, in collaboration with winemaker Matt Dumayne. A substantial portion of the wine was aged in concrete, which is the OCP style. [This, of course, isn’t a wine that many will be able to find. But I quite like that on this site I can, on occasion, just write about interesting things without a concern for where they are available. It’s about what is interesting.]<\/p>\n Samantha Gamay 2014 Okanagan, Canada<\/strong> Find this wine with wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n Continuing with the series on Gamay, I’m sticking with the Okanagan Valley in Canada.

\n13.1% alcohol. This shows generous, elegant textured sweet cherry and plum fruit with a really smooth, rounded character. There’s a lovely elegance and smoothness to this wine, with silky, velvety structure and fruit purity. Seamless and fine-grained with lovely generous fruit, but also some finesse. There’s a superficial simple fruit quality to this wine, but beneath this there’s also some depth and complexity, too. It’s ripe, but not overly so, and I just love the texture on this wine. 90\/100<\/p>\n\n
