Aroma: Raspberry, Niagara red cherry and a generous dosage of French oak.
Palate: Restrained and tight giving little rein to the raspberry and cherry but not stifling it. Short finish with light and passing tannins.
Personality: So if I don’t flaunt my fruit this is a matter of choice and style.
Cellarbility: Drink now.
Food Pairing: Not much on the Redstone Winery restaurant menu that suits this Gamay to a tee. My choice would be their Nduja & Ricotta Ravioli (Roasted red pepper & tomato vinaigrette, toasted almond, arugula and Parmesan).
Price: $24 CDN.
