Sheldrake Point Gamay Noir / 750 ml

The 2019 Gamay Noir was aged for 4.5 months in nearly all used French oak. It comes in at just 10.8% alcohol. Light and bright, this is just a picnic wine, but in that style, it most certainly is a lot of fun. There's a touch of spice and a touch of mint. There's no depth or power to speak of, and there's not much color either. It tastes great in its unassuming style. Have your expectations in order and you'll like it better than the score suggests. Drink it as young as possible, since aging it likely won't make it turn into anything more interesting. 85 Points Wine Advocate
