GOLD MEDAL: Concours International du Gamay 2022 GOLD MEDAL: Concours International du Gamay 2021 93 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
A quiet revolution has recently gone ahead in Beaujolais. A series of successful vintages, old vines and a new generation of winemakers striving for perfection within their unique terroir - without the hype of a PR machine - mean Beaujolais really is the unsung hero of the Burgundy wine scene.
"Beautifully ripe and instantly appealing, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, toasted spice, thyme and smoked game notes, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate offering terrific fruit intensity backed by refreshing acidity and fine tannins, finishing persistent and sturdy." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
I enjoyed the wine in so far as it is well rounded - the taste of black fruit evident - not sure about the liquorice though. All in all for the price a pleasant easy drinking wine.

Super ripe very smooth dry red, with just a hint of Cherries in that Italian style and You are able to drink this wine with or without food, Very good value at $20.
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
