Malivoire 2016 Gamay, Small Lot

Look, you already know I love Gamay so that should come as no surprise, but my love of Gamay gets enhanced when I taste the gems coming out the door of Malivoire – it is on the basis of Gamays alone I would have given Shiraz Mottiar the winemaker of the year award (which he won at this year’s Ontario Wine Awards).  After spending a mere 6 months in barrel the nose is full-on cherry (makes you wonder what it would be like without the barrel time) and it just pops right out of the glass and down your olfactories; the palate is simple yet elegant with red licorice mixing it up with red and black cherry fruit. Can’t wait to dig into a few bottles of this over the summer.  Price: $19.95 – Rating: ****+
