Sunday Evening: We needed to head to No Frills to pick up some groceries for dinner. Instead of hitting the LCBO at Dundas and Dovercourt, our usual shop, we decided to stop at Wine Rack at the Dufferin Mall because we were already there. We asked the salesperson for a light, fruity to go with our roasted pepper salad and bocconcini and he suggested a few different bottles. We settled on this one, probably because we weren’t really familiar with Gamay grapes.
The wine was a deep garnet colour, almost sepia. It had a nice flowery aroma, which gave way to cherry and vanilla flavours, balanced with light tannin. The finish was slightly spicy, but without the intensity of, say, a Syrah.
As it turned out, the Gamay Noir was a great pair with our simple, light dinner. We were quite happy with the wine, and would recommend it for lighter summer fare, or simply enjoying with a book on the patio in the summer.
4/5
