Wine Review: This lighter red colored Gamay from Pax is a quaffer! It opens with an attractive strawberry and red raspberry bouquet with hints of rhubarb and a touch of loam. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round, mouthwatering, and bright. The flavor profile is a very tasty ripe strawberry and maraschino cherry blend with notes of gentle loam. I also detected hints of pomegranate and coconut flakes. I would pair this very approachable Gamay with a green goddess sheet pan salmon and potatoes. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Alpine strawberries and cherry skins. Translucent electric garnet in color, light-medium body and loaded with joyous fruit and spice. Very buoyant and light on its feet, it is packed with gorgeous and continuously unfolding flowers, spices, and juicy fruit. This wine is too fun for words, Gamay purity, alpine freshness, juicy melons, and summer berries exuberance all in one glass. Drink chilled.
