| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.6 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by zinsidious on 8/28/2015 & rated 87 points: Tart strawberries, watermelon rind and brine...juicy acidity. Nice end of summer sipper. (1036 views) | | | Tasted by Brix on 8/15/2013 & rated 90 points: The jolly-ness continues... as always, a delightful bottle of Steve Edmunds' gamay. While this wine might lack the distinct sense of place found in the best crus beaujolais, it compensates with impeccable balance and unmatched liveliness on the palate. Bright red fruits in abundance and bracing acidity make it a perfect match with summertime foods - we had it with grilled portobello 'shrooms, fresh corn, and salad. With a light chill, then popped and poured, almost impossible to stop sipping. (1390 views) | | | Tasted by Tony Poli on 8/13/2013 & rated 91 points: On the deck, with a grilled chicken salad. This is a delightful wine. It ignited the jolly-ness... (1348 views) | | | Tasted by ecola on 2/19/2013 & rated 88 points: Tasted blind. Light to medium body. Dry on the palate with bright and lively acidity. Cherry, cranberry, and a little pomegranate. Gripping tannins on the finish. Very food friendly. (1462 views) | | | Tasted by nicefish on 11/25/2012 & rated 90 points: Delicious. Berry and floral notes on the nose. Bright acidity. Very nice domestic version of a gamay. Will get more. (1522 views) | | | Tasted by vintage_whine on 11/6/2012 & rated 87 points: strawberry is a bit overripe and smucker-ish to be beaujolais but complimented by dark purple plums and berries as well, but this still manages a winderful acid backbone and granitic minerality to still appease the francophiles. certainly a "serious" interpretation of gamay, but still accessible (1005 views) | | | Tasted by theronware on 9/12/2012 & rated 89 points: Strawberry and rose petals on the nose. Bright red fruits plus a dusting of spice on the palate. Slightly grippy finish. More high pitched than Cru Beaujolais -- lacked their earth and funk -- but accessible and delicious. Good on day two as well. Definitely a rebuy. A very good domestic version of gamay. 12.4% abv (875 views) |
| Edmunds St. John Producer websiteGamay Noir Varietal character (Appellation America)USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sierra FoothillsAmador |
