Brick House Gamay Noir 2024

Harvested on a beautiful fall day, this mix of Gamay Noir clones was fully destemmed into stainless steel fermenters. After a post-fermentation maceration we racked the wine into 100% neutral French oak barrels where it aged for ten months. I tasted the 2024 Gamay Noir from tank two days before it was due to be bottled. Maturing in used oak, it has savory aromas of red cherry, blackberry, garrigue, leather and cracked pepper. Medium-bodied, it floods the mouth with crunchy, earth-laced flavors. It's framed by silky tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, spicy finish. Barrel Sample: 92-94
