"A juicy little gem of a wine, the 2022 Gamay Estate has pretty strawberry, spice, and peppery herb notes in a deliciously quaffable, medium-bodied style that's going to go with just about any food out there. It's perfect for drinking over the coming 3-4 years."

"The 2022 Gamay Estate is bright and punchy, with lovely, forward red-toned fruit and vibrant, salivating acids that pull it all together. The 2022 is a bit ethereal, the result of a freakish vintage. Nervy tannins lend energy throughout."

"Made with about 15% whole clusters, the 2021 Gamay Estate has layered scents of raspberry and pomegranate with accents of orange peel, dusty earth and spice. The light-bodied palate is chalky and refreshing with pleasantly crunchy fruit and a flavorful, spice-laced finish."

"Vibrating with acidity, juicy wild strawberries and Bing cherries. A flurry of minerals dusts dark citrus flavors through the earth-toned finish. Layered, generous and loamy with aging potential. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Gamay Estate is earthy, peppery and powerfully structured. Chalky acids and crunchy cranberry tones unfurl in the glass, leading to a lean, tense, herbaceous wine with ample focus and drive. This is an engaging, interesting interpretation of the variety through a Sta. Rita Hills lens."

"The 2023 Gamay Estate balances red and black fruits with earthy and floral aromas, introducing a plush and buoyant palate lined with mouthwatering acidity. It closes with a focused, crunchy finish that lingers with cleansing citrus tones and another round of earthy nuances."
