Bachelder wines go quick, and this one might be gone;
but let's shine a light on a new Gamay Noir vineyard, in Niagara-on-the-Lake
Bachelder Wines 2020 Gamay Noir - Bai Xu Vineyard
... WRITTEN REVIEW ...
Right on the label Thomas tells us what he did: a 32% whole cluster pressing on this wine- it's amazing to see this die-hard Pinot Noir/ Chardonnay producer latch onto Gamay as hard as he has; he's really showing this "lowly", "disloyal" grape some real love and respect. The nose is floral and red berry, while the palate displays a juicy core of red fruit, a spicy finish that leaves peppery notes battling it out with subtle baking spices. And let’s not forget the great length to the finish. (****+)
