Winemaker Notes
A nose of black currant and sweet cherry is supported by mulberry and crushed herbs on the palate. The vibrant acidity helps highlight the clarity of fruit flavors.
For a light lunch, pair this Gamay with a charcuterie spread including patés, terrines, and rillettes, along with soft cheeses like brie and Camembert. On a warm summer evening, chill the wine slightly and enjoy with a salad featuring dried cherries and chèvre, grilled vegetables, and chicken or cedar plank salmon.

How delightful that Gamay grows in the Finger Lakes and further more that Sheldrake Point has managed to coax out its unique attributes there. This reserve bottling showcases Gamay's bright cherry and strawberry flavors, with elegant tones of tomato leaf, nut and granite. It's deft and crisply composed with a fine, feathery kiss of tannins. — Anna Lee C. Iijima
