| ST. DAVID'S BENCH VINEYARD GAMAY NOIR DROIT 2012 VQA Niagara Peninsula |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CHÂTEAU DES CHARMES |
| Deep intense purple red colour. Slightly spicy, bright, plum-cherry-raspberry nose. Dry, medium to medium-light bodied, tangy fresh plum-raspberry flavours with a crisp, unoaked, still youthful, mineral-tinged finish. Has 13% alcohol and only 5 g/L residual sugar. A great match for pasta in a fresh tomato sauce with capers, fresh basil and garlic. I suggest serving this wine in a large Pinot Noir glass. You may be surprised that it will also benefit from additional aging. |

A Best Buy |
| Platinum Medal winner at the 2015 National Wine Awards of Canada. TASTING NOTE: From the vineyard where the Gamay Noir Droit clone was born, this wine is as complex as it is elegant. Abundant dark fruit aromas and flavours show themselves in a flavourful, almost rich fashion, and there's some nice tannic bite on the long finish. There's a lot of wine here for a friendly price.
