2023 Bachelder Bator 30% Whole Cluster Gamay Noirπ₯92+pts wine This first single varietal MerlotElegance, finesse, different! I just had to include this stand out Gamay, and especially because it's the last vintage from this vineyard and old vines. A classic fruity Niagara on the Lake Gamay with lots of substance. Cherry, cassis and raspberry are the main fruits on the nose and palate, with licorice and subtle but present spice. It's round, soft, and elegant delicious!
