Structurally and weight-wise, Gamay lands somewhere between Pinot Noir and Southern Rhone Syrah\/Grenache but can be exceptionally complex (as is the case with Lot 52) and is delicious either as a stand alone or with food. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced directly out of a single-vineyard, $50\/bottle program bottling blend, Lot 52 is one of the finest Gamay Noir's produced in California (previous vintage's, albeit from a different vineyard but from the same producer, have scored in the mid-90's). It is first and foremost truly gorgeous juice, but also a fairly unique and rare find in the pantheon of California wines. While the fruit was sourced in Santa Lucia Highlands, the wine was produced here in Sonoma County at a high-end custom crush facility, fermented in open top tanks and aged in neutral French oak to preserve the dynamic, vibrant fruit and lively character of this absolutely delicious wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTrust me on this one folks, if you value a fruit-forward and approachable yet complex and delightful wine experience, you are gonna love this incredibly high-quality Gamay Noir!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOf course, instead of $50\/bottle, it's available to you today at the absolutely fantastic price of $15! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eVibrant purple magenta hue.
