RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine: Redstone 2021 Gamay Noir

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.

RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine Rating: 83/100. Michael Godel Wine Align 89.
