2017 GAMAY NOIR RESERVE

CGT Reserve wines are our highest quality, small production red wines. These wines are single varietal and are oaked for upwards of 24 months.

TASTING NOTES

Traditionally known as Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc, Gamay Noir has adapted well to the climate of Northern Michigan, producing a lighter-bodied, aromatic, fruity red wine with distinct tart cherry, red plum and black pepper flavors abound. With 36 months of barrel aging, it is lighter than traditional red wines making it a versatile wine for cheese and breads, grilled salmon, roasted duckling or wild mushroom pizza.
