Angels Gate 2008 Gamay
After tasting this wine I had to wonder why such a good wine is so under-priced? On the other hand, I'm happy to see good value, so I'm not complaining. But back to the price. Is Gamay so under-rated, unrecognizable or little respected that $12.95 seems almost over-priced? Let's hope not. Let's just hope this is aggressive marketing of a much maligned grape variety. This is a prime example of good Gamay: simple, supple and sippable. The nose is cherry loaded while the palate delivers a red berry bowl of flavour: cherry with a hint of raspberry; strawberry shows up just before the final swallow turns cherry and then lingers a long time. Nice acidity keeps everything clean and ready for the next sip. Chillable, sippable and so ready to enjoy. Criminally under-priced, so be sure to stock up before they realize an error had been made at the cash register. Price: 12.95 - Rating: ****+
