Maybe I’m not the right guy to review Gamay … I love the grape and have high standards for the wines made from it; the mediocre stuff just doesn’t cut it. This Chateau des Charmes version won the gold medal at the Ontario Wine Awards and shows real depth. The aromas are cherry and black cherry in nature, which continues on the palate and delivers on balancing acidity with a great finish – where you’ll find hints of smokiness. Come to think of it, maybe I am the right guy, us Gamay-lovers have to keep the standards of Ontario up when it come this this great, yet under-appreciated grape. Price: $13.95 - Rating: ****+
