Cattail Creek 2007 Gamay Noir

DescriptionDescription  Hot Dog! Another winery on board to make Gamy – I love it. Such a versatile grape – you can oak it and make it stand up for a decade or you can leave it light and fruity, as a perfect summer red. Gamay is one of those grapes that can turn your white-only friends into budding young red drinkers. Here’s the wine to try that experiment. Cattail’s Gamay is in the light and fruity style with red currants and strawberries on the nose … black raspberries, red berries and a nice smooth red fruit finish. This is one wine you could put a light chill on and enjoy on the patio in the afternoon, then let it warm up (back to room temperature) and turn around and serve it up during the evening meal – and I would be willing to bet most folks will think it’s a completely different wine. Fifteen bucks is a steal … but don’t let the cat out of the bag about that. Price: $15.00
