RKS 2023 Wine: More Good Ontario Gamay? Di Profio 2019 Gamay Noir

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, , ,

Aroma: Cherry, raspberry and a bit of mocha. Simple and delightful.

Palate: Modest tannins. Light and smooth with Niagara cherry, blackberry, almonds and a bit of red pepper jelly. Short finish.

Personality: OK I might not be bursting with fruit on the palate but essentially I am nonchalant and easy going. Perhaps I have a bit too much oak. Excuse me.

Food Pairing: Mussels in a tomato, chorizo sausage, red wine, scallion and basil sauce with Portuguese cornbread for mopping up the broth.

Cellarbility: Drink now.

Price: $22 (Ontario).

RKS 2023 Wine Rating: 86/100.

(Di Profio 2019 Gamay Noir, VQA Creek Shores (Mia Cara Vineyard), Di Profio Estate Wines Incorporated, Jordan Station, Ontario, 750 mL, 12.7%).
