The news here is that another serious producer decided to get into bed with the Gamay grape … and that’s a good thing. Multi-award winning winery (and 3 time winery of the year) Tawse puts their reputation on the line producing a serious Gamay from the 2011 vintage. Nice red berries (especially cherry) on the nose with hints of white pepper and just the right amount of sour cherry reigning it all in … These aromas find their way to the palate making for a quaffable (and chillable) red. Nice to see Tawse (a serious Pinot / Chardonnay producer) in the Gamay game. With a very good opening volley. Price: $18.95 – Rating: ****
