  Testing this wine for Thanksgiving 2024. Decanted for sediment.
  
  Day 1: Baking spice and a little barnyard aromas on opening, eventually giving way to ripe raspberry. Flavors of ripe raspberry and minerals... with baking spices playing hide-and-seek.
  
  Day 2: Ripe red cherries
  
  Finish is more pronounced than the nose, so likely still has some aging potential. Will work as an option for the Thanksgiving meal.

  Nice wine with food, I like the fruit and it’s got a good amount of acidity.

  Enjoyed this Gamay. Dark berries, a bit of mineral and spice. Definitely has depth and stands up to some heartier foods. Smooth on the palette and pleasant on the nose.
