This is a fabulous domestic Gamay.  It's juicy and fun, with surprising depth.  Versatile with different dinners like spicy stir fry or roast chicken, or just as a solo sipper.

From the producer:

Most of our Gamay (67%) comes from the Willamette Valley where the vintage was ideal for the grape’s peppery and red fruited proclivity, but we also farm one Gamay vineyard in the Columbia Valley that gives juicy ripeness and tons of mineral complexity. The yields were light in the Washington site in 2023 due to rains during flowering, but what we did have was picked at the ideal moment in late September. Picking for our Willamette Valley sites spanned few very nice weeks in mid-October after a bout of rains in late September. For “Les Petits Fers”, we typically utilize significant amounts of whole cluster carbonic maceration, typical of traditional Beaujolais winemaking. This was true of all but our new Columbia Valley site which was mostly destemmed and fermented spontaneously in an open-top vat. The Gamay lots were aged independently by vineyard in mostly concrete tanks, stainless steel tanks, and some neutral barrels.
